CW: Mentions of War, Genocide, Ethnic Conflict, the Holocaust

In light of Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine, we're joined by two IR majors, Sean and Faizaan to talk about the conflict. We discuss the origins of the conflict, Putin's possible motives, comparisons to previous wars, Zelenskyy's inspiring leadership, the resolve of the Ukrainian people, the global outpouring of support as well as hopes for unity in discussing similar conflicts and mass displacements. If you're looking for an explainer on the escalating conflict without too much jargon, you've come to the right place!
