The Russia - Ukraine conflict: how it becomes possible and what we can expect in the future?
Hosted by the Program on History, Memory, and Conflict
Thursday, September 17th
12:00pm-2:00pm
Conference Room 5183, Metropolitan Building
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a direct threat to security and stability for the European continent and potentially dangerous for a global scale, so far as it closely connected with the confrontation between Russia and, so called, the Western world. Today Ukraine does not have sufficient resources to the force resolution of these conflict and Russia does not have the resources to use only the so-called "hybrid war" to achieve its war objectives in Ukraine. So, the conflict is at the stage where previous methods are depleted. And that means we can expect the stabilization of the situation or, on the contrary, renewal of war when Russia will recognize its intervention on the Eastern Ukraine.
The presentation will be considered, in particular, the following issues:
• How the Russia – Ukraine Conflict became possible?
• Which factors influence on the development of the situation?
• What we can expect in the future?
