Was droht uns, wenn Russland gewinnt? | Österreich, erklärt

For more than three years, Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been trying to conquer his neighboring country, Ukraine – so far unsuccessfully. Ukrainian soldiers lose their lives every day in defense. But they aren't just doing this for their own homeland. For Putin's ambitions don't stop at the Dnieper River, in Kyiv or Lviv – they go much further. The Kremlin envisions a European continent under Russian leadership. And to achieve this, Putin is resorting not only to armed force, but also to much more subtle means.
