Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has within a matter of weeks reshaped geopolitics while creating a massive refugee, humanitarian, and strategic crisis with no clear end in sight.
This event brings together experts on Russian and Ukrainian politics and foreign policy, military strategy and the NATO alliance, and international law and tribunals to discuss why President Vladimir Putin decided to invade, NATO’s response and the likelihood of rolling back the invasion or creating a ceasefire, the war’s likely effects on Putin’s grip on power, and the prospects of holding Russian officials, including Putin, accountable for war crimes being committed during the conflict.
