On this episode of Going Underground, Afshin Rattansi challenges the former vice chairman of the International Affairs Committee of Russia’s Duma, Natalya Narochnitskaya, over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The challenges posed to the former Russian politician include the Kremlin assuring the world Russia was not going to invade Ukraine, whether Putin’s Russia is acting like the US and NATO in their wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, the painting of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government and part of the population as neo-Nazis, why Putin didn’t answer Zelensky’s efforts for talks before the invasion, civilian casualties in Ukraine, and more.
