This episode presents a balanced analysis of the discourse used by Russian and Ukrainian leaders during the ongoing conflict, drawing on insights from Hasan Tutar and Sadullah Mücahid Bağ's study, Critical Discourse Analysis on Leader Statements in the Russia-Ukraine War (2023). Through thematic and critical discourse analysis, we explore how both leaders shape narratives, use language strategically, and convey implicit meanings. This episode provides a deeper look at how words, rhetoric, and context play crucial roles in reflecting each leader’s stance and aims during this period.
