Ukraine: Political Hot Zone with Chris Doyle

In February 2022, Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to “demilitarize and “denazify” Ukraine. Chris Doyle will lead a discussion of the region’s history and what Kremlin watchers postulate is his strategy in the region. We’ll look at the reactions of other global powers, the U.N., NATO, and non-NATO countries. To keep our discussion informed and lively, students will be expected to read and discuss excerpts from Luke Harding’s Invasion: The Inside Story of Russia’s Bloody War and Ukraine’s Fight for Survival as well as other assigned readings.

Tuesdays: Feb. 21, Apr. 18, May 9 | 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. | KF Room | $60
