Euroscopic S2E3: Ian Bremmer and "more Europe"
Euroscopic S2E3: Ian Bremmer and "more Europe"
In search of a strategy for — and a definition of — "victory" in Ukraine.

The Munich Security Conference celebrated its diamond jubilee last weekend. A who’s who of global security and foreign affairs elite gathered for three days of panels, receptions, and sideline talks that shape larger events as much as they reveal something about them. Ian Bremmer, founder of the Eurasia Group, was one of the many insiders to take part in the MSC. He joins us to offer a few of his takeaways of a security conference happening in increasingly insecure times.
News of the death of Alexei Navalny set the mood for the conference. While expressions of condolences came easily, the harder task will be what policymakers mean when they say they will hold Russia “accountable.” Anton Shekhovtsov, an EUobserver contributor, shares his thoughts on Russia after Navalny.
We’ve also got a wrap of some of the major headlines to happen this week, including an EU contribution to a Red Sea naval operation, increasing impatience with Israel, and the latest in the march towards European parliament elections.
