About This Event

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, many predicted a short war. Nearly nine months later, the end of the conflict remains illusive with mounting casualties on both sides and increasing fears of nuclear war. As Russia faces growing international and domestic resistance and Vladimir Putin continues to pressure the West, many now ask: what’s next? 

Council President Ivo Daalder joins Chief Content Officer Sarah Gilbert to discuss what’s happened, what’s to come, and engage in a conversation with members of the Council community in-person and online. 

Note

This is a hybrid event, meaning a select group of Council members are able to attend in person in our Conference Center. Space is limited. Not a member of the community and interested in participating? Join now.

In-person COVID-19 related safety measures will be followed.
