Vladimir Putin said it would be “three-day war”. But his invasion in Ukraine has not gone to plan. One year on, the atrocities continue, with either side refusing to back down. So much has been lost, for so little gain. And 7NEWS was there as the conflict unfolded. Featuring reporting by Chris Reason, Hugh Whitfeld, Sarah Greenhalgh, Geof Parry, Tim Lester and Mark Riley, “Ukraine: One Year of War” documents the conflict as it happened.

Olena Lennon, Ph.D. is a Practitioner in Residence in the National Security Department at the University of New Haven, where she teaches such courses as the U.S. Foreign & Defense Policy and International Relations. Formerly a Fulbright scholar from Ukraine, and most recently a scholar at Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., she has dedicated her research to the study of conflict management and identity politics in eastern Europe, focused on domestic and foreign policy of Ukraine. An eastern Ukraine native, Dr. Lennon has been a regular participant in scholarly and media forums related to issues in Ukraine, facilitating a more informed and objective analysis of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. She also serves as an election observer with Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and has completed several election observation missions in the region. Her work appeared in Foreign Affairs, The National Interest, Demokratizatsiya, Eurasian Geography and Economics, and other outlets.
