Baldwin will discuss Ukraine’s history and how it relates to contemporary political and cultural divisions in the country. She will also provide insight on how NATO expansion and other post-Cold War actions by the US-led West looked from Moscow’s perspective, which led to Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine last February.
