Prof. Jesse Driscoll (UC-San Diego) will give a talk related to his new book, Ukraine's Unnamed War: Before the Russian Invasion of 2022. The talk will focus on the roots of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, how the 2013–14 violent protests on Maidan unleashed seditionist movements in Crimea and Eastern Donbas, but not elsewhere in Eastern Ukraine, and why no political solution was found for 7 years prior to this catastrophic Russian attack.
