Putin's War in Ukraine: Why Russia Invaded & How it Ends

Thursday, April 17, 7:00pm - 8:00pm (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Have questions about Ukraine? You're not alone. So we asked our Advisor, Ken Pope, Senior Fellow at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation to a bonus lab to pick his brain. This lab will explore Putin's war in Ukraine, why it happened, where we are and how it will likely end. Our lab will help you better understand the conflict but equally important Russia, how it works and the current authoritarian in charge. In Feb 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in what was an illegitimate war of choice according to many and a war of necessity for Russia’s survival to others.

We’ll dive into the why of Russia’s war on Ukraine and by extension the West and the debate surrounding this conflict in the US and Europe. This debate misses many key factors and much nuance. Both sides of the argument result to slogan slinging versus getting after the legitimate life and death issues of this war. We'll discuss the current state of the war, examine why there is no easy solution to ending it and that in any "final" solution no one will get everything they want.
