“If you’re fighting off a major world power, corruption will not be on your plate. You’re going to be looking at trying to keep domestic production up and national solidarity at high levels,” says Dr. Ian Oxnevad, returning guest on this installment of the Riskology special series. Dr. Ian Oxnevad and Tom discuss the geopolitical risk landscape between Russia and Ukraine.

Dr. Ian Oxnevad is the Director of Geopolitical Risk Intelligence for Infortal Worldwide, with a background in political science and national security studies. He is also the host of The Riskology Podcast.

You’ll hear Ian and Tom discuss:

• The impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as the implications counteroffensive measures may have on both countries. 
• Companies may face risks in doing business with Russia as they violate sanctions. Ian also discusses the proxy war between Russia and the West and between China and the West.
• The shrinking European economy is due to higher energy costs and the impact of food supplies in other parts of the world. 
• The risks of corruption in Ukraine.
• How China is playing a role in filling the void left by Western investment and the need for due diligence in the post-war business landscape
• There is potential for a “rush” of people and companies looking to capitalize on the efforts to rebuild Ukraine. This can present a potential risk in terms of corruption for Ukraine.
