Richard Ledet - The State, Ukraine, Russia and Shadow Governments

Dr Richard Ledet joins Pete A Turner on the Break It Down Show to discuss Ukraine reconstruction. Given Rich's and Pete's experience working on the ground together in Afghanistan, this ought to be an illustrative episode that provides insight into how the US and others will approach the rehabilitation of Ukraine at the conclusion of the war.

One confounding aspect of the Ukraine war are outside influences. The number of external players who hold desired outcomes, while backed by significant resources have the ability to significantly impact the long term stability of the region. Rich and Pete will explore shadow government influences. They'll also explore forces of corruption in the region.
