"The Russian Aggression towards Ukraine"
University West organises a lunch seminar due to the Russian aggression towards Ukraine for all staff and students at the university. Vice-Chancellor Martin Hellström introduces the topic. Dr. Wayne Coetzee, an expert in international politics, gives his view of the situation: what are the causes of the aggression and what can be expected in the short and long run? What scenarios are there, and which of them are the most likely ones? After this, the audience can ask questions directly to Wayne.
