This first class in political science prof Russ Leng’s two-part series takes up “The Case of Ukraine.” What are the motivations behind Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine and elsewhere? Russian security? A new Russian empire? Personal glory? Professor Leng examines these questions, and how the answers affect how the West should respond to Putin’s actions, not only in Ukraine, but in the future.
