The world has been shocked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Why did this happen? What is the true historical relationship between Russia and Ukraine? How are people reacting in Russia? What are the implications for the United States, NATO, and international security? What will be the impact of sanctions and other financial penalties that the United States and its allies have imposed on Russia? A panel of University of Wisconsin faculty members addressed these and other questions. Panelists include Mark Copelovitch (UW-Madison, Political Science), Yoshiko Herrera (UW-Madison, Political Science), Andrey Ivanov (UW-Platteville, History), Kirill Ospovat (UW-Madison, GNS+), and Jessica Weeks (UW-Madison, Political Science). Moderated by Ted Gerber (UW-Madison, CREECA Director).
