I am pleased to announce my @PressClubAust address on February 11. I will examine why Russia’s war against Ukraine matters far beyond Europe — including for Australia’s long-term security, economic interests, and strategic environment.  I will also attempt to challenge many assumptions on which the West’s approach to the war on Ukraine rests and address the rhetorical question: is modern Russia more myth than superpower?
