Two years ago, Russia unleashed the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. The invasion of Ukraine has left hundreds of thousands dead and wounded, left cities razed to the ground and displaced millions of people since it began. Journalist Jakub Szántó and political geographer Michael Romancov came to the ChariTALK podcast to discuss what the two war years brought from the point of view of politics and Czech, by extension, European society. What role does misinformation play in the conflict and how can our society deal with it? And why do disinformers look to Vladimir Putin as the protector of Christian conservative Europe? Since the beginning of the war, Charita, as well as other charitable organizations, have tried to help those who suffer the most. During the first few weeks of fighting, the Czech Republic received over 600,000 refugees, the most from the entire EU. Is it true that the initial enthusiasm for helping society is slowly waning? And what sparks a sense of belonging in a person to want to help? Can even something as terrifying as war bring about some positive changes? This is answered by Jakub Szántó and Michael Romancov with moderator Naděžda Hávová in a special edition of ChariTALK.
