Since mid-October 2021, social media and news outlets have reported significant movement by Russian military forces on or near the Ukrainian border. These movements come amid increasingly aggressive rhetoric by Russian policymakers about encroachment by  NATO near Russia’s borders and the geopolitical status of Ukraine. Many observers have expressed concerns that such buildups and exercises could be the prelude to a second Russian invasion of Ukraine or other aggressive actions.


Anna Borshchevskaya of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy joins the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire to discuss developments in Ukraine from the the context of Vladimir Putin’s global foreign policy strategy. She will also discuss Russia’s game-changing intervention in Syria in the context of Putin’s global foreign policy strategy. 

We hope you can join us for this exciting online event!
