Ukraine

The State of the Conflict in Ukraine

Presented By
Jim Geraghty

Two years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine – and the fighting continues.

The bitter and bloody war has devastated Ukraine, isolated Russia from the West, and stoked economic insecurity around the world. To date, the United States has sent billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine. But the decision to provide even more assistance has fractured along party lines in Congress.

Jim Geraghty, National Review’s senior political correspondent, has reported from Egypt, Israel, Italy, Jordan, and Spain, and covered national elections in the U.K. and Germany. He recently returned from his second reporting trip in Ukraine. Geraghty discusses the broader implications of the conflict and what it means for the United States, as well as a recent stop in Taiwan.

Geraghty writes the National Review’s widely read daily “Morning Jolt” newsletter and appears on the magazine’s weekly “The Editors” podcast. He also co-hosts two podcasts and has written eight books, including Heavy Lifting with Cam Edwards and Voting to Kill.

This event is co-sponsored by: the Show-Me Institute and the National Review Institute.
