By Yulia Kiselyova and Viktoriia Ivashchenko

This essay examines military metaphors in the narratives of Ukrainian academics displaced as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian War.

by Andrii Nekoliak, Cindy Wittke, Maryna Rabinovych

A Symposium on troubled nexuses between international and domestic law explores the multi-dimensional interplay of law(s) on the domestic, regional, and international levels before and after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The Symposium has been published in Review of Central and East European Law, Volume 47: Issue 3-4 (Dec 2022).
