Interview with the war reporter Jan Jessen
The guest in this edition of Labyrinth is the war reporter from Germany, Jan Jessen, who is constantly on the Ukraine-Middle East route. Jessen has just returned from Ukraine and says the exhaustion from the two-year war is already clearly visible. According to him, the lack of weapons is the reason why the Russians conquered Avdiivka. As for Navalny's death, Јessen interprets it as a message to the Russian people.
We also discussed the situation in the European Union and its attempts to reach a single position when it comes to military hotspots and the imposition of sanctions. This year there are also elections in the Union, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who comes from Germany, will run for a second term at the head of the Commission. Jan answers the question: Does von der Leyen have the support of the Germans and how they see the European elections.
