About the talk:
The war in Ukraine has lasted 21 months, with no end in sight. What has been the impact on Ukraine? What is happening in Russia—is the economy really booming and are the Russian people fully in support of the war? How might this war end, and what will be the lasting impact on the region and the world order?
