Description: How close are we to World War III? One month since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, hundreds of civilians and thousands of soldiers have been killed, and roughly 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced by the conflict. The war has reached a stalemate, raising concerns about whether fighting could spill over into neighboring countries. Are we on the verge of another world war? To understand the current situation, and how it compares to the two major wars of the 20th century, we spoke with Joshua Shifrinson, a BU Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies associate professor of international relations. Want to read this story?
