The Russian invasion and war in Ukraine raises new questions about the historical relationship between Ukraine and Russia, the sovereignty and independence of the former republics of the Soviet Union, human rights, and global and regional security more widely.

This event includes graduate students with expertise in the region for a roundtable discussion on the short-term effects and long-term consequences of the war in Ukraine, the developments that brought us to this point, and where we go from here.  This event is presented as part of ‘The World Now’ Series in the Center for International Studies, and in cooperation with the Bobcats for Ukraine.
