    This conversation delves into the complexities of the Ukraine-Russia war, focusing on the Maidan Massacre as a pivotal event that escalated the conflict. Professor Dr. Ivan Katchanovski discusses the historical roots of political violence in Ukraine, the division between pro-Russian and pro-Western sentiments, and the role of Western governments in the overthrow of Yanukovych. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the origins of the conflict for potential resolution and the devastating consequences that have ensued. In this conversation, Ivan Katchanovski discusses the complex geopolitical situation surrounding Ukraine, its relationship with the West, and the ongoing conflict with Russia. He emphasizes the role of media misrepresentation, the human cost of the war, and the failures of international diplomacy. Katchanovski argues that Ukraine has become a client state of the West, and he critiques the decisions made by Ukrainian leadership, particularly Zelensky, in the context of the war. He highlights the significant casualties and the lack of transparency regarding the true impact of the conflict on Ukrainian society. In this conversation, Ivan Katchanovski discusses the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, focusing on the hidden casualties of war, the rhetoric of European leaders, the role of propaganda, predictions for the war's outcome, the potential for a realistic peace deal, and the influence of the Trump administration on conflict resolution. Katchanovski emphasizes the misrepresentation of casualties by Ukrainian officials, the increasing militarization of the European Union, and the necessity for a peace deal that acknowledges Russian demands to minimize the negative consequences for Ukraine and the West.
