Is Russia setting the agenda on Ukraine? With former Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves
Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine has challenged preconceptions in western Europe \u2013 and confirmed the views of many in Russia\u2019s more immediate neighbourhood, including the Baltic states. We discuss why this was the case \u2013 and whether western Europe is still underestimating Vladimir Putin.
Emily Tamkin is joined by former Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves to discuss Europe and America\u2019s response to the war so far and why Putin miscalculated the invasion.
