Join us virtually on Friday, April 15th, at 12:30 p.m. as Professor Iryna Zaverukha takes us for a walk through a "Hall of Mirrors," reflecting on the Russian war against Ukraine and its disruptive effect on the international global order.
The discussion will address Russian manipulation of the international legal framework; the inefficiency of the global response to the Russian threat; and the Ukrainian fight for their very lives and for democracy.
