SUMMARY:THE FENG: Update on the war in Ukraine
LOCATION:Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Update on the war in UkraineSpeaker: David Edick Jr., Principal at Core Global Advisory, Past President, San Diego World Affairs CouncilPresentation:On February 24, 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. What the Kremlin expected to be a brief “special military operation” has turned into long, costly war that has shaken the world. Indeed, the war has had a number of phases where either Russia or Ukraine seemed to winning. Delivery of American HIMARS long distance precision rocket systems to Ukraine fundamentally altered the battlefield in July, sharply reducing Russia’s advantage in massed artillery. More recently, large gains by Ukrainian forces and disarray in Russian forces in Northeastern Ukraine in late August into September gave way to partial mobilization inside Russia – thereby bringing the war to the wider Russian public for the first time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Where does the war stand today as fall turns toward winter? What have been some of the notable impacts of the war to date? What’s the outlook for the war?In his presentation David will discuss the following aspects of the conflict:- State Of Play On The Battlefield – Red Army Legend Or Myth?- Putin’s Nuclear Saber Rattling- Associated Global Impacts &amp; Sanctions Outlook – including Energy Insecurity, Food Insecurity, Technology, and the Turkish/UN-brokered Ukraine grain export corridor- Western Nations Allied Support – Solid Or Fracturing?- Russia – Internal Situation and Perspective&nbsp;- Potential Offramps and Cessation of HostilitiesFollowing his presentation, David will take questions from the audience.Speaker’s bio:David Edick Jr. is Principal at Core Global Advisory, a consultancy focused on energy, political risk, commodities, and market strategy.
