Despite weeks of heightening tensions and warnings, Russia’s advance into Ukraine on 22 February 2022 came as a shock to the world. As Russian military pushes deeper into Ukraine, the implications of this conflict are likely to cause a ripple effect across the region and beyond. As a salvo of sanctions are being calibrated against Kremlin, a broad range of speculations about Vladimir Putin’s moves, responses of Joe Biden and his NATO partners, and China’s reaction have surfaced.
As the crisis unfolds and public debates stand more divided than ever and disinformation on social media abounds, how can we make sense of this crisis and its far-reaching implications for the future of the world order? How is this development going to impact geopolitical faut lines that are already complex and precarious? In this episode of CCG Global Dialogue, we invited two experts with different and imperative perspectives to discuss the causes and consequences of the Ukraine Crisis.
