What is the impact of the war in Ukraine?

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has gripped the world’s attention. As global audiences continue to watch the crisis unfold, how does this war differ from regional conflicts in other parts of the world? Furthermore, how does the global reaction to this particular crisis compare to others? To explore these issues, UBC experts discuss the geopolitical and economic consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as examine the inequities in the response from the global community. Learn how reactions to this conflict and its sanctions are impacting our world — and what the ripple effect might be upon future wars.
