Ukraine, Russia and the West - the Outlook for 2023

An online discussion with former New York Times foreign correspondent and former Ukraine reporter James Brooke

Wednesday, February 22 at 7 p.m. EDT

Online via Zoom
Free & open to all

Veteran foreign correspondent Jim Brooke is back to give OLLI another in-depth analysis of the war in Ukraine. Jim draws on a total of 14 years living and working Kyiv and Moscow -- as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, the Voice of America, Bloomberg and several business news outlets. In earlier talks with OLLI members, Jim went beyond the headlines to explain Russian intentions and flawed assumptions, Ukrainian capacity to resist, and the impact of the war around the world. It's a good time to check back in with Jim on the one-year anniversary of the conflict and the unfolding tragedy that Ukrainians are undergoing.

James Brooke, a veteran foreign correspondent, will explore the outlook this fall for the Russia-Ukraine war. A Lenox native, Brooke reported for 24 years for The New York Times, including many trips to Russia. After the Times, he reported for eight years from Moscow, first as Bloomberg bureau chief, then as Voice of America bureau chief. Most recently, he reported for six years on Ukraine, returning from Kyiv to Lenox one year ago. He writes a twice monthly Foreign Affairs column for The Berkshire Eagle.
