Weekly Meeting: The Situation in Ukaine

In the fall of 2021, Ukrainian officials reported that the Russian government placed 100,000 troops near the border with Ukraine. On Feb. 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia recognized the independence of the separatist Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR). Three days later, Putin launched a military attack on Ukraine, reportedly to protect residents of the Donbas region from the Ukrainian government. The invasion has resulted in Russian forces attacking major cities and infrastructure in Ukraine.

The Russion-Ukrainian relationship has been rocky for nearly a decade.  Dr. Monica Ciobanu, professor of criminal justice at SUNY Plattsburgh and researcher on democratization in East and Central Europe, 
will speak about the situation in Ukraine at this Wednesday's meeting.
