Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine has been condemned by the West and met with a strong collective response. The European Union and the United States have imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia, individual NATO countries have supplied Ukraine with weapons, and Western private companies have rapidly decoupled from the Russian market. As the conflict enters a new phase, Ukrainian negotiators and Western partners are now deliberating how to provide Ukraine with security guarantees as part of a possible negotiated settlement. This panel of distinguished experts will examine the likely issues and challenges that the EU, NATO, and the international community will confront in dealing with Ukraine and Russia following the war and assess what role they can play in any postwar security settlement.
