Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine is not Putin’s first war. In August 2008, Moscow invaded Georgia and occupied 20 percent of its territories. Six years after, in 2014, by invading Ukraine, Russia occupied Crimea. Eight years later, on February 24, 2022, Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which is Europe’s largest ground war since World War II. Putin’s recent invasion of Ukraine has raised numerous questions about his war aims and how it affects Russia’s relations on the regional and international levels.
There is also an active discussion about the international response to this war. To better understand Putin’s current aims, this panel discussion not only explores Russia’s current military actions but will look back and analyze the previous invasion of Georgia, evaluate how the Atlantic Alliance’s responded back then; the strategic mistakes that were made by western countries in the 2008 war’s fallout.
The panel also will discuss the Western countries’ response to the current war and evaluate the broader international implication of Ukraine on the international system. Last but not least, the panelists will also discuss the implications of Russia’s war in Ukraine on the breakaway regions and how the war affects Russia domestically.
