War In Europe - Drama In Ukraine Season 1 Episode release dates & where to watch

1. Neither friends nor enemies

This first part goes to the roots of the conflict, in 2014, tracing the fall of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, the accession to power of Petro Poroshenko and the way Moscow stoked divisions to annex Crimea and push Donbass to separatism. Episode also returns to the election, five years later, of Volodymyr Zelensky, faced with the blackmail of Donald Trump, who told him to provide elements incriminating Joe Biden's son, who worked in Ukraine as a consultant, in exchange for maintaining American aid.

2. The long road to Europe

In this second part, which lets the young Ukrainian President Zelensky defend his point of view, while showing how little the room for manoeuvre is, director Claire Walding returns to the stakes of the situation, from the election of Joe Biden to the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline - which should connect Russia to Germany without going through Ukraine - to explain why and with what consequences wait-and-and-see continues to prevail.
