From visiting scholars, and faculty discussions to movie screenings, a lot is happening at @FletcherRussia.
Stay updated with this week's top analyses, opinions, and event updates from @FletcherSchool's @FletcherRussia on #RussiaUkraineWar + other Eurasian affairs.
"Three stories Russians tell themselves about the war in Ukraine — and why they point to a long conflict."
"Russian Armed Forces are shrinking in size, creating a growing crisis for war effort in #Ukraine. The “partial” mobilization may well fail to solve this situation."
"Since 2014, Ukraine was testing ground for cyber warfare and included multiple forms of attacks. Prominent was the 2015-2016 attack on power grids. This was among a small selection of attacks that disrupted physical systems in Western Ukraine,": @shakirov2036#RussiaUkraineWar
"In Russia, there was no discussion of cyber security consequences if a war starts. Ukraine faced various attacks including viper attacks, and multiple government websites were defaced. This attack impacted provision of financial & govt services to public,": @shakirov2036
Today's Eurasia Club luncheon seminar is with @FletcherSchool@FletcherRussia Visiting Scholar Andrey Todorov. The topic for today's session is focused on #arctic governance.
"The U.S. is an #Arctic state and so are other countries many people chose to study in. Even Russia is an Arctic state. Hence it occupies an important place in foreign policy in myriad ways:" Andrey Todorov @FletcherSchool
Some of the topics the audience associated with #arctic
1. The Arctic is at the forefront of multilateral cooperation. 2. Wildlife conservation. 3. Melting ice caps and climate change.
Andrey Todorov: "What happens in the Arctic does not stay there."
From #FletcherProf@crmiller1's launch of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology to Visiting Scholars seminars, a lot is happening at @FletcherRussia.
"The destruction of #energy infrastructure is designed to simultaneously punish Ukrainians for resisting, and Europeans for supporting their resistance."
Today's Eurasia Club luncheon seminar is with @FletcherSchool#FletcherProf@dandrezner. Follow us for more updates from the session and Dr. Drezner's insights on the Russia-Ukraine war.
"What is striking is that the Chinese by and large have adhered to Western sanctions on #Russia. They have not sent high-end consumer goods to Russia. China needs western markets:" @dandrezner@FletcherSchool
"In recent weeks, Ukraine launched twin offenses in south and east and took #Russia by surprise and the latter lost over 4000 sq kms and stands to lose more. In response, Putin ordered partial mobilization and annexed territories:" @dandrezner
Today's Eurasia Lunch series is chaired by @FletcherSchool visiting scholar Yury Nadtochey who will speak about ways to manage escalation risks between #Russia and the West. #AcademicTwitter
Why do we need confidence-building measures to manage conflict, asks Yury Nadtochey?
"There are ways to tackle asymmetry of information and there is a basis for decision-making, based on social norms and not just Benefits-Cost Analysis." @FletcherSchool
