Part 2: Ukraine Explained with Dr. Margarita M. Balmaceda, Associate at Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute

We’re back with part two of our Ukraine explained series with Dr. Margarita M. Balmaceda, Associate at Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and Professor at SHU School of Diplomacy and International Relations. Taking this conflict from a different angle, this episode we learn about the economic elements of this crisis. Specifically, we talk about sanctions, their impact – what they even are in the first place – the industries that have created the geopolitical positioning of late in the region, and more. We also step back and define terms we’ve been hearing 3000x a day without a definition in sight, like Oligarch, Autocrat, Mutually Assured Destruction, and so on. For a further deep dive, make sure to check our Dr. Balmaceda’s new book, Russian Energy Chains: the Remaking of Technopolitics from Siberia to Ukraine to the European Union, and her Twitter.
