Experts discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the latest "Talking Foreign Policy"

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has abruptly transformed the world. The unprovoked and brutal military campaign has resulted in destruction of cities, widespread civilian casualties, and millions of refugees.

The west has responded with crippling sanctions, and Russia has answered with implied threats to use nuclear and chemical weapons.

As the economic war deepens and the military conflict escalates, we are all asking ourselves – how will this crisis end?

This is the question addressed in the next broadcast of Talking Foreign Policy, the radio program produced by Cleveland’s NPR station and Case Western Reserve University School of Law. 

For this broadcast, host Michael Scharf, Dean of CWRU School of Law, has assembled an expert panel -- former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Sandy Hodgkinson, UN peace negotiator Paul Williams, head of a national security think tank Avidan Cover, and noted international law expert Milena Sterio -- to discuss the latest developments in the Ukraine crisis and what is likely to come next.
