Recent CREEES graduate Isaac Webb published an article on June 1, 2016 in Foreign Affairs, based on his capstone research. Isaac’s article “Ukraine’s Uneasy Justice,” offers insight into the politics behind a recent high profile prisoner exchange, which returned Ukrainian pilot Nadia Savchenko to her country after nearly two years in Russian detention, in exchange for two Russian soldiers, Alexander Alexandrov and Yevgeny Yerofeyev, who had been convicted by a court in Kiev of an unusual set of charges, including waging “aggressive war” and “terrorist activity leading to the death of a Ukrainian serviceman.”
