415. Taras Byk - Is Putin’s Endless Aggression Exhausting Russia’s Military, Social and Economic Reserves

Taras Byk's special mission is the breakup of the Russian Federation, a
project that doesn't seem so far-fetched after the Prigozhin mutiny, and
Putin’s endless aggression that is exhausting Russia’s military and
economic reserves. Taras is a civil society activist and political
strategist, who believes that Ukraine's Maidan Revolution, in which he
participated, saved not only Ukraine but also Europe. Today we will be
discussing the threat from a resurgent Russia, and the history of
imperial expansion that sits behind it. Can Ukraine's stand for freedom
and struggle against renewed Russification of its peoples hold the line
in Europe between freedom and authoritarianism, between the rule of law
and unimaginable barbarism. Can Ukraine's experience even help
revitalise the idea of democracy and help us to become more resilience
in the face of creeping nepotism, corruption, oligarchy, and aggressive
autocrats?

Taras Byk is a manager at Wooden Horse Strategies, LLC, a
governmental-relations, and strategic communications firm based in Kyiv.
