In this SPICe (Scottish Parliament Information Centre) seminar, Professor Peter Jackson, Chair in Global Security at the University of Glasgow and SCGA co-director, and Professor Luke March, Personal Chair of Post-Soviet and Comparative Politics at the University of Edinburgh explore the current geopolitical situation in relation to Ukraine. It looks to explain:
- Russia’s approach to Ukraine and what that might also mean for countries in Eastern Europe;
- The international response to the crisis including the change of approach by the United States under President Trump; and
- Given the change of position in Washington, what Europe and NATO’s response should be and how the UK fits into the approach.
