Chair: Monica Attard

As the war in Ukraine drags on, cities are destroyed and people\u2019s lives are devastated, how do we make sense of Russia and the rationale behind its \u2019special military operation\u2019? There has been intense focus on the plight of Ukraine\u2019s citizenry, but less attention has been paid to the Russian mindset, the historical context for this invasion and the likely consequences. Former ABC foreign correspondent Monica Attard is joined by political scientist Anatol Lieven, historian Sheila Fitzpatrick and Belarusian writer Alhierd Bacharevi\u010d.
