About the talk:

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began nearly 1,000 days ago and has cost both countries blood and treasure. Now the outcome of the US election promises to be a key determinant of what happens next. This talk will first bring us up to date on the state of the war and how Ukraine and Russia have sustained their efforts. It will then consider the impact of a Harris or Trump victory, and whether European support could mitigate negative outcomes for Ukraine.

About the speaker:

Alexandra Vacroux is currently the Vice President for Strategic Engagement at the Kyiv School of Economics. In this role, she is focusing on connecting KSE with top faculty, schools, and programs around the world, strengthening KSE as a platform that builds Ukraine’s human capital. She is based in Ukraine.

Vacroux’s scholarly work addresses Russian and Eurasian policy issues, including the war in Ukraine. As director of graduate studies for the Davis Center’s Master of Arts program in Regional Studies for nearly 15 years, she has mentored dozens of Harvard students and regional experts. She continues to manage the center’s Scholars Without Borders program.

Vacroux holds a Ph.D. in government from Harvard University.
