On 15 February, Warwick District UN Association will host Dr Ruth Deyermond, Senior Lecturer in Post-Soviet Security in the Department of War Studies of King’s College, London, who will address a video meeting on Russia`s strategy and military movements in relation to Ukraine and likely developments in the region.
Dr Ruth Deyermond`s current research focuses on Russian foreign policy, particularly towards the post-Soviet space (the territory of the former Republics of the USSR), and on the post-Cold war relationship between the USA and Russia – and its effect on European security.

Before this, Ruth worked in HM Treasury in areas including UK policy towards the International Financial Institutions and the development of the Private Finance Initiative. Her first degree was in English Language and Literature (University of Oxford) and her first MA was in English and European Renaissance Drama (University of Warwick).
