It is the first time for the Ukrainian audience that a public lecture by a researcher who studies deep territorial conflicts and geopolitical struggles reveals the essence of Russian intervention in Ukraine. Gerard Toal is the one who is able to answer the question "Why does Russia invade its neighbors?" in a scientifically sound manner.

A broad discussion of Ukraine's position in the new world order. Under what conditions will the war unleashed by Russia end? Why is Ukraine destined to play the role of a democratic world's defender? A responsible and honest conversation with the leader of research on post-Soviet politics and the hierarchy of the new world order.
