As Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky meets with European leaders, including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Eduard Soler i Lecha, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Senior Research Associate at IBEI.
