John Hewko, CEO of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation, recently returned from a trip to Ukraine. As a lawyer in the early 1990s, he helped the working group drafting the country’s first post-Soviet constitution.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive to oust well dug-in Russian forces has begun with fierce fighting reported.
What is your assessment of the level of morale among Ukrainian citizens as well as the soldiers you met? The Ukrainians are claiming that all these intrusions that they’ve had so far, all these counteroffensive actions so far, have really been probing actions to find weaknesses in the Russian lines. And they’ve had some limited success. The majority of forces are still holding back in the big counter that hasn’t yet happened. So I think it’s still too early to certainly assess whether it’s been successful or not. It’s very early days, but it’s going to be a long slog.
Regardless of how things turn out for Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, Putin has never looked weaker. What’s your assessment of that? Does it potentially make him more dangerous and unpredictable? How do you see you see a cornered Putin responding?
