Russia and Ukraine: What Now?

We enthusiastically announce an event conceived and coordinated by our Cristina Cassetti to help us understand the history and the complex international situation between Russia and Ukraine. The presentation will have a historical, non-partisan approach. Presentation and discussion will take place in English with an exceptional speaker: Andrew Twomey.

Andrew Twomey has spent a 40+ year career addressing international security issues both in government and business. A career Army officer, he both led operational units and served in a variety of policy positions in the Pentagon and overseas, retiring from the military as a Brigadier General. Since 2008 he has led business organizations supporting US national security missions, with a particular focus on cyber threats and intelligence analysis. His talk is entitled: Russia and Ukraine - What now? In the talk he will briefly review the history of Russia and the Ukraine, review the conflict and its implications for US policy and security, and outline possible outcomes and options for US policy.
