This volume presents a collection of selected essays and interviews published by the Forum for Ukrainian Studies, an online analytical publication of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the University of Alberta, in the first two years after Russia's full-scale invasion. The scholars and experts tackle a broad range of questions about identity, culture, propaganda, security, international relations, history, decolonization, and state of the art in Ukrainian studies and Russian studies in Western academia in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war. The texts are presented chronologically to illustrate the dynamics of the rapidly unfolding events and contextualize the ideas and narratives that were discussed at particular moments. The interviews and essays provide supremely knowledgeable and nuanced perspectives and analyses of the war, from both within Ukraine and abroad.The selected Forum contributors are Margarita Balmaceda, Mykola Bielieskov, Michael Bociurkiw, Mariana Budjeryn, Dovile Budryte, Dmytro Bushuyev, Vitaly Chernetsky, Davis Daycock, Marta Dyczok, Olexiy Haran, Khrystyna Holynska, Aliaksei Kazharski, Yuliya Kovaliv, Hiroaki Kuromiya, Serhiy Kvit, Elzbieta Kwiecinska, Frank Ledwidge, Agnieszka Legucka, Tamara Martsenyuk, Jade McGlynn, Rajan Menon, Alexander Motyl, Cynthia Nielsen, Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Mitchell Orenstein, John V.
