What the West Needs to Know About Russia’s War in Ukraine
March 18, 2022 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Eurasia Program
About the Event
After nearly a month of bloodshed in Ukraine, a ceasefire agreement with Russia remains an elusive goal. This week Polish, Czech, and Slovenian leaders visited Kyiv to show European support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom and independence. But Russian atrocities in Ukraine continue to mount and experts suspect the worst is yet to come. Join us for a discussion with experts from Ukraine and Russia to better understand the situation on the ground in both countries, and how Ukraine sees the West’s role in resolving this conflict.
