It has been one week since Russia mounted a massive invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian people have thus far mounted a valorous defense of their country and have thwarted Vladimir Putin's plans for a swift victory.

Still, the situation on the ground changes by the day and Russia remains the dominant military power. This begs the question: What happens if Russia wins this war?

Liana Fix is a resident fellow at the German Marshall Fund in Washington, DC. Along with co-author Michael Kimmage, she recently wrote an essay in Foreign Affairs describing the ways a Kremlin-controlled Ukraine would transform Europe -- and international relations more broadly.

We kick off discussing what a Russian "victory" might look like in Ukraine before having a broader conversation about the many ways that such an outcome would upend Europe as we know it.
