Two years ago, on Feb. 24, 2022, Russia launched a massive invasion into neighboring Ukraine.
The international community responded with military aid and sanctions. The U.N. expelled Russia from the Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russia failed to capture Ukraine’s largest cities or topple Ukraine’s government. Over the last two years, the fighting has grounded to a near stalemate with thousands of casualties on both sides.
As the conflict drags on, lawmakers in the U.S. are debating whether to continue providing military aid to Ukraine. The moves in Congress are being closely watched by not only those on the ground fighting in Ukraine, but by the rest of the international community.
Tuesday on the “Sound of Ideas,” we'll hear another installment of “Talking Foreign Policy,” our series in partnership with Case Western Reserve University, where a panel of experts will discuss what is the next step in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The panel includes former U.S. State Department officials, international policy experts, peace negotiators, a retired major general, and a former assistant to the prime minister of Ukraine who is living Kiev.
