About the talk:
Three years in, and the war in Ukraine continues. Russia is sending drones and ballistic missiles to hit both civilian and military targets across Ukraine nearly every day. Ukraine has reciprocated by striking military sites and oil refineries. On the ground, the conflict is no closer to ending than it has been in the past 1,000 days. Trump, however, would like to broker a ceasefire. Is this realistic? Does Putin want the conflict to stop? How does this war end? This talk will address these questions within the larger context of where the war is now.
