From climate change and energy policy to conservation, economic growth, and the choices governments make about our future, environmental issues are becoming impossible to separate from politics. How do we balance environmental responsibility with economic realities? Are governments doing enough? And what role should environmental concerns play in shaping the political decisions we make today?

Please join me and my special guest, Ukraine Government Advisor and Political Analyst Maksym Turkevych, as we examine the growing debate over whether Ukraine should hold elections while the war with Russia continues.

Can Ukraine realistically hold free and fair elections during wartime? Would an election strengthen Ukrainian democracy—or risk dividing the country at a critical moment? And if Ukrainians do eventually go to the polls, what could the political future of Ukraine look like?
