Joshua Yaffa on Whats Next for Ukraine
The contributor Joshua Yaffa, who was based in Moscow for years and has been reporting from Ukraine since the start of the war, speaks to David Remnick from Kyiv. There, Yaffa says, the latest news from Russia\u2014including threats of nuclear attack and reports of political upheaval\u2014has been treated with near-indifference. \u201cUkraine has been in the fight for its survival since the end of February, fully aware that Russia is ready to throw any and all resources at the attempted subjugation of the Ukrainian state,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd after things like the massacre in Bucha and other areas outside of Kyiv, earlier this spring, there\u2019s not much that can surprise or shock or scare the Ukrainian public about what Russia is ready to do.\u201d
