ntv.de: Ambassador Issacharoff, did you ever think that a war in Europe would be possible again?

Jeremy Issacharoff: I don’t think anyone foresaw this type of outbreak of conflict. It was clear that the end of the Cold War did not mark the end of the overall tensions between West and East, between Russia and NATO. But I don’t think anyone felt that it could reach this level of hostility and lead to a much broader operation and ultimately a war against Ukraine.

Are you shocked by what Vladimir Putin is doing to innocent people in Ukraine?
