S03. Episode 13. Funding Ukraine, Defending Europe: The Future of European Security.
<p>In this episode of Policy Implications, Olha Zadorozhna speaks with Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at Bruegel and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, about Europe’s response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and what it says about Europe’s future security role. Theydiscuss why the war led to much more EU financing for Ukraine without creating a true European defence union, why geography and fiscal capacity shaped which countries moved fastest, how coalitions of the willing have become central toEurope’s military response, and why Ukraine itself may become a key part of Europe’s long-term defence capacity. They also explore what all of this means as Europe faces growing pressure to take more responsibility for its ownsecurity.</p><p>Link to the paper discussed in this episode: https://tinyurl.com/sz3ube6d</p><p>💛💙 Support Ukraine:Please consider donating to support Ukraine.

S03. Episode 12. Not Just Putin: Russian Support for the War in Ukraine.
<p>In this episode of Policy Implications, Olha Zadorozhna hosts a conversation with Olle Hammar on Russian public opinion, wartime attitudes, and what survey evidence can tell us about support for the invasion of Ukraine. Drawing on new research using data from the Levada Center and the Gallup World Poll, they discuss whether Russia’s war against Ukraine is really just Putin’s war, or whether it has broader backing inside Russian society. Together, they explore why the evidence points to a strong rally effect after the full-scale invasion, how support for Putin and optimism about the future both increased while positive attitudes toward the West and migration aspirations declined, why Moscow stands out as a partial exception, what the temporary backlash to partial mobilization actually reveals, and what all of this means for policymakers in Ukraine and the West who may still hope that internal Russian opposition will end the war.</p><p>Link to the paper discussed in this episode: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y3f9w9vk">https://tinyurl.com/y3f9w9vk</a></p><p><br></p><p>💛💙 Support Ukraine:Please consider donating to support Ukraine.

S03. Episode 11. How Ukrainian Migration Changed Voting in Poland?
<p>In this episode of Policy Implications, Olha Zadorozhna hosts a conversation with Dariia Mykhailyshyna on migration, politics, and how large inflows of migrants can reshape voting behavior. Drawing on new research on two waves of Ukrainian migration to Poland — the labor migration that followed Russia’s aggression in 2014 and the refugee inflow after the full-scale invasion in 2022 — they discuss whether more migration really leads to more support for nationalist and far-right parties. Together, they explore why the Polish case tells a more nuanced story, how local exposure to Ukrainian migrants often reduced rather than increased far-right support, why labor migrants and refugees produced different political effects, and what this reveals about the role of labor markets, social benefits, and political rhetoric in shaping public attitudes toward migration.</p><p><br></p><p>Link to the paper discussed in this episode: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/mtskp3rh">https://tinyurl.com/mtskp3rh</a></p><p><br></p><p>💛💙 Support Ukraine:Please consider donating to support Ukraine.
