Second Briefing Call on Ukraine

A week into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is now clear that the crisis will have long-lasting implications for businesses in many sectors, in addition to its severe human costs and political consequences. President Putin seems set to double down on his military action in the face of resistance. In response, Western governments’ positions towards Russia will continue to harden, making it essential now to consider both the short and long-term consequences of sanctions, retaliatory actions and the new division of Europe.  In this Episode, Flint Managing Partner Sir Simon Fraser (Head of the UK Foreign Office 2010-2015), chairs a discussion between Flint Specialist Partner, Sir Julian King (UK EU Commissioner 2016-19),  Josh Buckland (former energy adviser to the Business Secretary)  and Sam Lowe (Flint Director and Trade specialist).
