San Francisco, CA, January 03, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Steven Pifer, William Perry Fellow at Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation and a former Ambassador to Ukraine, will be the Verb™ Presents Speaker Series featured guest on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 5:30 pm (Pacific Time). His talk is entitled, “East-West Geopolitics and Why Ukraine Matters.” With a quarter of a century’s experience at the State Department, including service at U.S. embassies in Poland, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and Ukraine, Stanford alumnus Mr. Pifer provides a senior diplomat’s seasoned perspective.

Author of "The Eagle and Trident: US-Ukraine Relations in Turbulent Times," published by the Brookings Institution Press, Mr. Pifer continues to inform audiences on the prospects and challenges of Eurasian politics. With commentaries on NPR, PBS, CNN, Fox, BBC and in The New York Times and The Moscow Times, Ambassador Pifer’s subject matter expertise includes arms control and security issues.
