The Blaming NATO Game

Juliette Marquis talks with Olga Lautman, Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). Olga’s research focuses on the cross-section of organized crime and intelligence operations in Russia and Ukraine, their impact on the West, and the monitoring of active measures campaigns conducted by the Kremlin to destabilize democratic practices and influence foreign elections. Olga is also the creator and co-host of Kremlin File podcast series, which features expert discussions on the Kremlin’s internal affairs, global operations, and tactics used from their hybrid warfare toolkit to destabilize Western democracies.

Juliette Marquis speaks with Professor Chimène Keitner, a leading authority on international law serving as the 27th Counselor on International Law in the U.S. Department of State. She has authored two books and dozens of articles, essays, and book chapters on questions surrounding the relationship among law, communities, and borders, including issues of jurisdiction, extraterritoriality, foreign sovereign and foreign official immunity, and the historical understandings underpinning current practice in these areas. The discussion centers around the subject of the Ukrainian invasion being labelled “genocide” and what that term means within an international legal framework. What are these human rights violations adding up to? Episode photo by Serhii Korovainyi
