Russia's War on Ukraine

In February of 2022, Russia ignited the largest conventional war in Europe since World War II.

Questions about the causes of the war and how it can end are perhaps the most important foreign policy challenges of the new U.S. administration. Alex Vindman, a regional expert who has been at the heart of U.S. strategy, will provide his thoughts on Russia’s war on Ukraine.
