Understanding Russia’s Attack on Ukraine

A conversation with Chris Miller Assistant Professor of International History at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University

As the war in Ukraine approaches its fourth week, many Western commentators are still wondering why Russian President Vladimir Putin chose a full-scale invasion, and why now. In this podcast, Kiana Nedele sits down with Professor Christopher Miller, head of the Fletcher School’s Russia/Eurasia Program, to work through these questions and more. Professor Miller brings his years of experience working with Russians on Russian issues to share critical insights about the role of the U.S. and NATO, Putin’s headspace, and the uses and limits of political theory.
