Description
Russia thought it could take Kyiv in a matter of days, some Western analysts thought the same. But Ukraine is still standing. This conflict has had one foot in the past and one foot firmly in the future. There’s been First World War style massed artillery and infantry storming trenches on the one hand, but unmanned drones and ultra-modern missiles on the other.

From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
