“This summer we have indeed seen something of a turning point in the course of the war, with Ukraine now clearly taking the lead,” said Mai’a Cross, professor of political science, international relations, and diplomacy at Northeastern University, as reported by the US university.

NATO membership and maintaining Ukrainian land are at the “core of Ukraine’s right to self-determination and sovereignty as a nation” and are unlikely to be concessions Zelensky is willing to make, Mai’a Cross, an international affairs professor at Northeastern University, told Newsweek.

Mai’a Cross, Director at the Center for International Affairs and World Cultures at Northeastern University, and Ann C Thresher, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion, Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University, join ABC News’ report.

“We may be at an inflection event,” said Mai’a Cross, a professor of international affairs and diplomacy at Northeastern University. “The nature of warfare has transformed.”

Mai’a Cross, director of the Center for International Affairs and World Cultures at Northeastern University in the US, said the Trump election will likely be very concerning for France and Germany as “key powers when it comes to European security and defence”.

The accession of Finland, which has a 1,340-kilometer (832-mile) border with Russia, has geographic and political importance for NATO, said Mai’a Cross, professor of political science at Northeastern University.

“Given Finland’s long border with Russia and its history of being conquered by Russia and the Soviet Union, it has in many ways a more in-depth understanding of Russia and a track record of cultivating knowledge in Russian studies,” said Mai’a Cross, a professor of international relations at Boston’s Northeastern University.

Mai’a Cross, politics professor at Northeastern University said that Zelensky’s image “as the heroic leader of Ukraine still remains in the U.S., despite his claims about the missile strike.”

“There still hasn’t been any sort of concrete move to to get the nuclear weapons ready in Russia, so I think that’s at least a sign of hope,” Northeastern University Scholar Mai’a Cross said

Harvard scholar Oleh Kotsyuba and Northeastern University professors Mai’a Cross and Pablo Calderon talked about how energy sanctions are related to inflation during NBC10 Boston’s weekly series, “Russia-Ukraine Q&A.”
