Since 2014, Russia has annexed Ukrainian territory, funded a separatist movement in Eastern Ukraine, and seized Ukrainian naval vessels. After several years of a cease-fire, thousands of Russian troops are now massed in Russian territory near the border with Ukraine. Russia and the West are trading accusations of provocation. While talks to diffuse the situation are ongoing, join us to discuss different perspectives and preferences on how to approach the crisis.

Panelists: Celeste Beesley, Political Science; Scott Cooper, Political Science; Jeff Hardy, History.

This event will be held in B192 JFSB (the Education in Zion auditorium).

Panel co-sponsored by the BYU Political Affairs Society.
