The Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at the Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University invites you to join Angela Stent, Senior Adviser to the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and Professor Emerita of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University, as she discusses “Putin’s War: Russia Against the West and With the Rest” on Monday, March 27, 2023, at 12:20 p.m. CT via Zoom.
