Maria Shagina joins us on the podcast to talk about the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, its effect on US-German relations, and how Russia is using it as a political weapon against Ukraine. Dr. Maria Shagina is a CEES Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Eastern European Studies at the University of Zurich. She is currently affiliated with the Geneva International Sanctions Network. As a political risk analyst for Global Risk Insights, she covered energy politics and sanctions in post-Soviet countries. Needless to say, she's a badass.
