On Wednesday, January 15 at 2:00 pm ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center releases its new documentary Putin’s endgame: The stakes beyond Ukraine, on the threat of Russian aggression beyond Ukraine and the dangers posed to US interests.
The film explores the Kremlin threat to transatlantic security—especially if Vladimir Putin achieves his aims in Ukraine, either on the battlefield or via a bad peace deal. Anchored by on-the-ground interviews with national security officials, military personnel, and ordinary citizens from Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and the United Kingdom, the documentary examines the stakes of Russia’s war on Ukraine for all Americans.
The documentary is produced by Emmy-winning television producer Joel Seidman with Emmy-winning former NBC News correspondent Kevin Tibbles, who conducted interviews in Europe and Washington, DC for this project.
This broadcast features the thirty-minute documentary, followed by a panel discussion with the film’s creators and producers.
