Where does the Russia-Ukraine crisis go from here?

After the build-up of greater than 100,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, the general public launch of two sweeping Russian safety proposals, and a sequence of diplomatic exchanges with the U.S., North Atlantic Treaty Group, and Group for Safety and Cooperation in Europe, there are few indicators that Russian President Vladimir Putin will de-escalate the continuing disaster on the border with Ukraine.

Why now and what’s President Putin’s objective? How do occasions within the area, notably in Kazakhstan, affect the unfolding disaster on the border with Ukraine? How can Europe reshape its safety structure to higher reply to a brand new period of disruption, and the place does the U.S. slot in?

On January 21, the Middle on america and Europe at Brookings will host two panel discussions with Brookings specialists to discover these questions.
