At the Berlin Security Conference, Arsenij Yatsenyuk, former Prime Minister Ukraine (2014-2016), discusses Ukraine’s resilience and the broader implications of Russia’s invasion. Yatsenyuk underscores that Russia’s aggression isn’t only against Ukraine but a challenge to the global order by an emerging “axis of evil.” Due to this, it will be also a disaster for the US, if Ukraine will fail in this war. He emphasizes the importance of continued Western support from Germany, especially the need for air defence systems and advanced weaponry like Taurus missiles to counter Russia’s escalating attacks. Reflecting on personal experiences with Russian smear campaigns, Yatsenyuk highlights the tool of disinformation to undermine democratic systems worldwide. Despite the ongoing hardships of war, they remain optimistic, crediting Ukraine’s military and civilian resolve.
