my guest is former ukrainian prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk.ow realistic is ukraine's insistence it will prevail? arseniy yatsenyuk in ukraine, welcome to hardtalk. hello, stephen, thanks for having me. it is a pleasure to have you on the show. we all see, mr yatsenyuk, that the cost of this war to ukraine is already terribly high. is it sustainable? we are fighting for our freedom. for our liberties. we are fighting for our homeland. and what is happening right now in ukraine is a tragedy. it is a drama on the one hand. on the other hand, this is an unbelievable courage of ukrainian military, men and women in uniform, and the very strong unity of ukrainian nation and of ukrainian people. so we will prevail and we will survive. but i come back to the practical reality which is, day after day, your country's capacity is being degraded. your towns and cities are being bombarded. the civilian casualty toll is mounting. your military is being sorely stretched. so it comes back to — how sustainable is this for ukraine? look, a killer and a nazi—styl
