Research in focus: The war in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine
Russia's invasion of Ukraine means that a full-scale war is now raging in Europe. Malmö University has a number of leading experts on Russia, post-Soviet states, and the current security situation. RUCARR is a research platform concentrating on Russia and the Caucasus. In addition to that platform, we also have researchers who focus on issues relating to asylum and migration at the research centre MIM.
