Show Notes

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Dr. Andrey Kortunov, former Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council. He discusses the understated role and sacrifice China made for victory in World War 2, European countries’ plan to send troops to Ukraine and why security guarantees are essential for Russia, whether these negotiations are a ploy to trick Russia into another Minsk Agreement trap, whether the powers of the multipolar world such as China and Iran should act preemptively before the US moves against them, whether the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation can withstand the pressure from the US and its military-industrial complex, whether the SCO can be a united front for the multipolar world against US hegemony, whether Israel will use its nuclear weapons against Iran in the next war, and much more.
