Ukraine Invasion Special Episode

We are still working on our third season, but this is a special episode that we are sharing because of what has happened in Ukraine. Our team felt that we would be remiss if we did not have content related to the crisis. On this episode, BJ will be sharing excerpts from a forum on the Ukraine invasion that he had the opportunity to moderate. The panel consisted of Jeric Tionloc and Jamina Jugo, both faculty members of the European Studies Program of the Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines. They discussed the crisis in general, the impact of sanctions directed against Russia, and how developments in Ukraine have implications on East Asia.

The military conflict has polarized the world, but a humanitarian crisis continues as a result of the violence. As such, if you are willing and able, please consider providing assistance to UN agencies or international NGOs that are active in Ukraine right now.
