This presentation will cover the origins of the Russia-Ukraine War dating back to the 2014 Russian invasion and the annexation of Crimea.  We will discuss the evolution of Russia-Ukraine relations since the breakup of the Soviet Union.  And finally, we will look at the war termination stage which is currently underway and look at the current Russian-Ukraine War from the perspectives of Russia, Ukraine, Europe, and the Trump administration.
