How to Do More for Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin's failure to achieve a rapid victory in Ukraine has left Ukrainians with an unwavering confidence in their own ability to win the war – eventually. But much will depend on Western governments' own willingness to use all of the economic-policy tools at their disposal.
On May 6, 2022, economist Michael R. Strain of the American Enterprise Institute spoke with Oleg Ustenko, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief economic adviser, to discuss the international response to Russia’s war and the situation on the ground. Speaking from an undisclosed location in Ukraine, Ustenko makes clear that the United States and Europe could do more to end the war, to aid in Ukraine’s reconstruction, and to ensure that Russia cannot repeat its aggression in the future.
