Prospects for Peace in Ukraine and the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations
In light of the recently agreed Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran, Washington is beginning to reengage in the peace process between Russia and Ukraine. With the approach of the U.S. midterm elections and another battlefield winter, the window of opportunity is likely to narrow, making the coming months critical for reaching an agreement.
Maria Snegovaya, senior fellow in the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Steedman Hinckley, adjunct senior international and defense researcher at the RAND Corporation, and George Beebe, director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, assessed the current landscape of the war and what may lie. Mark Episkopos, research fellow in the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, moderated the discussion.
This esteemed panel unpacked the remaining hurdles to securing a compromise agreement and the likely reverberations of the success or failure of those negotiations for future relations between Washington and Moscow.
