Thursday, February 24, after months of tension, threats with the West and the movement of soldiers to the Ukrainian border, Russia finally decides to invade its neighbor.

To understand the origin of this conflict, it is necessary both to appeal to his memories of History of the Soviet era, to his knowledge of military alliances in the world or even of current diplomatic issues.

Although Ukraine is not part of the EU or NATO, the Europeans and the United States are particularly involved in this war, which will have direct economic and energy consequences for them.

If the attacks now affect Ukrainian territory alone, some experts fear the start of a Third World War with, on the horizon, a nuclear threat.

In short, many complex questions and subjects for reflection surround this confit.

Why is Vladimir Putin attacking now?

What is China doing in the conflict?

or what will become of Volodymyr Zelenski?

"20 Minutes" invites you to ask all your questions about this war, its issues, its origins or its repercussions to Cyrille Bret, researcher at the Jacques-Delors European Research Institute, philosopher, geopolitician and lecturer at Sciences Po Paris.

Our expert will answer it live during a live on our Instagram account (@20minutesfrance) 

on Wednesday March 9, at 6 p.m.
