How does Russia’s war against Ukraine look when viewed beyond its European and transatlantic context?
Dr. Swasti Rao of the Jindal School of International Affairs joins the Kennan Institute for Origins of the War to examine the conflict from a global perspective, with particular attention to India and countries with longstanding ties to Russia.
Rao explores how narratives surrounding the war can marginalize Ukraine’s agency and shape how the conflict is understood outside Europe and the United States. Drawing on India’s historical relationship with Russia, she considers how these perspectives influence foreign policy and broader interpretations of the war’s origins.
The conversation also considers what the conflict and the international responses to it reveal about global security, geopolitical polarization, and the changing international order.
