How might the war in Ukraine end?

Russian-born historian and professor of interational history at the London School of Economics Vladislav Zubok shared his thoughts on how the war in Ukraine might end. He said “it is ultimately (Putin) particularly in the Russian tradition who is expected to formulate the way to either a victorious war or an exit from the war if it turns out to be unsuccessful.”

And Taras Topolia, the lead singer of popular Ukrainian band Antytlia, found himself, after the war began, singing with U2’s Bono in an underground station in Kyiv. He tells us how the band’s members have changed since the war began.
