In this week’s bonus episode, we’re giving you an extended version of last week’s interview with Kyiv Independent reporter Alexander Query. Alexander is originally from France, but has been based in Ukraine covering business and now war related issues for the Kyiv Independent, as well as being a TV correspondent at UATV. Nastya spoke with Alex about the recent suspected explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines that bring gas from Russia to Germany under the baltic sea, as well as his recent interview with the CEO of Naftogaz Yuriy Vitrenko, and just what the war over energy and resources means for the future stability of Russia and Europe.
