Professor Colleen Graffy Interviewed on "The Impact of Events in Iran on the Russia-Ukraine Conflict" -- LBC Radio

Professor Colleen P. Graffy was interviewed on LBC Radio (London) for the Richard Spurr Show on the impact of events in Iran on the Russia-Ukraine War on March 11. Her view was that these are "no longer two separate wars" but a single, interconnected global conflict.

Professor Graffy described how Moscow and Tehran have moved from being "partners of convenience" to a "strategic axis." When the United States and Israel strike Iran, it impacts the front lines in the Donbas not just in terms of oil prices, but in the availability of the missiles needed to save Ukrainian lives. Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to better target US assets, and the jump in oil prices and lifting of sanctions against Russia has put much-needed money into Putin's wallet.

Professor Graffy described President Zelensky's "Drone Diplomacy" -- offering Ukrainian-made counter-drone tech training to Gulf states as a bold move that also keeps Ukraine relevant in a shifting geopolitical landscape.
