The Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Context, Causes, and Consequences

RSVP HERE
As the scale and intensity of the Russian military invasion in Ukraine have increased, we have seen widespread devastation within the country and the worst humanitarian and security crisis in Europe since World War II. Countries around the world have condemned the actions of Vladimir Putin placing unprecedented sanctions on Russia. The crisis is likely to have long-lasting and devastating social, political, and economic ramifications across the globe. Join Emerson Professor Ian McManus for a discussion of the causes, most recent developments, and consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
