Dieses Hörspiel ist eine sorgfältig recherchierte und umfassende Tatsachensammlung zum Ukraine-Krieg. Mit eigenen Vermutungen hält sich der Autor zurück. Die blossen Vorgänge sind dramatisch genug.

Wie haben die Ukraine, die USA, die NATO und Russland die Eskalations-Spirale angetrieben? Es geht nicht darum, wer "gut" oder "böse" ist, wer "gewinnt" oder "verliert". Es geht darum, die Zusammenhänge zu verstehen.
