NATO and Russia’s War in Ukraine

In this virtual Zoom lecture, Dr. Alexandra Chinchilla will examine what, if any, role NATO expansion and NATO-Russian relations played in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She will also discuss how NATO members built up Ukraine’s military both before and after February 2022, and the impact this has had in the war.

Dr. Chinchilla is an Assistant Professor at the Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University. She researches international relations with a focus on security assistance, alliance politics, and proxy war. In her book project and related articles, she examines how powerful states use security assistance tools, like military training and advising, and when these tools succeed in influencing other militaries.
