Foreign Policy Research Institute A Nation Must Think Before it Acts Russia’s Long Shadow and the Future of Europe

Russia’s Long Shadow and the Future of Europe

February 24, 2022 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Orbis

About the Event

Russia casts a long shadow over European security: the crisis in Ukraine, recent moves in Belarus and Kazakhstan, incidents in the Black and Baltic Seas, the question of energy dependence, fracture points in the European Union and NATO, and long-term implications of the partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Join two leading specialists and commentators on European and Eurasian affairs, both featured in the spring 2022 issue of Orbis, to move beyond the headlines and assess the future direction of Russian policy--and the trans-Atlantic response.
