iGlobeViews Episode 16 (22 July 2026): iGlobenews (www.iglobenews.org) Editor-in-Chief, Diana Mautner Markhof, discusses with top Russia expert Professor Gerhard Mangott the present and future of European security. How could the war in Ukraine end? How stable are the governments of Russia and Ukraine? Why is Zelensky constantly reshuffling his government? Zelensky is under pressure from Trump to hold elections and from the EU to combat corruption. Is the Ukrainian leader removing rivals so as to stay in power. Although Ukraine has very effective any corruption agencies, due to a lack of prosecutorial power, no politician has been held accountable in a court of law. How are Trump's Greenland plans and his war on Iran affecting Russia and the war in Ukraine? NATO division over the Greenland issue is not in the interest of the alliance. How can peace in Ukraine move forward? Europe is not talking to Russia and the United States has shifted its focus to the Middle East. Despite the lip service paid to Ukraine during the Ankara Summit and the pledge for more money - most of which is coming from the EU - Ukraine is running out of soldiers, defensive weapons and options. A nuclear escalation by Russia is very unlikely. But should European nations who supply and produce weapons for Ukraine prepare for a Russian surgical attack? German arms industries being a prime target. Professor Mangott views any scenario which sees Russia as the loser in this war as highly unlikely. Russia has to win the war and Ukraine only has to "not lose the war". Listen and find out more.
