[Peace-discuss] Russian-Ukrainian Conflict / Panel Discussion / IAS Library - Room 321, Feb. 13th at 2:00 pm -3:30 pm

Eheu fugaces, CGE

As we watch ( hear and read about) this conflict from a distance, there are far too many questions that go unanswered or they seem to be out of place in the numerous headlines, the voluminous sound bites, and in the static press coverage on this conflict.
