Fairview Satellite: Ukraine and Russia: Where Are We Now, Where Are We Headed?
February 24 marks the fourth anniversary of Russia's war on Ukraine. Prior to February 2022, some observers predicted that Ukraine did not stand a chance if Russia invaded, and Kyiv was expected to fall in three days. Yet they did; and it didn't. What has happened, and how has the war changed over the years? Now, with more than a full year back in office, what impact has Donald Trump and the U.S. had? Join Penn State Behrend Political Science Professor and JES Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Lena Surzhko-Harned for a discussion of these questions and many more.
This event is a Brock Institute for Mega Issues Education lecture.
JES Satellite Programming is sponsored by Erie Insurance.
