The psychology of the Ukrainian soldier

Does predicting the outcome of the war in Ukraine rest more on understanding the psychology of the Ukrainian soldier than any other factor? In this podcast Dr Raj Persaud is in conversation with Dr Dmytro Assonov, discussing his work with Ukrainian veterans in the field; how his work has changed due to the current climate; the motivations, resilience and patriotism that he witnesses in the soldiers who have joined the Ukrainian fight against Russia; and the changing theories for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
