As Russia’s invasion stretches into its third year, optimism about Ukraine’s prospects in the war is diminishing steeply. What realistically can be achieved on the battlefield? Is a diplomatic settlement possible or even desirable? What actions should the United States take to prevent Ukrainian defeat, preserve Ukrainian independence and protect American security?
The Quincy Institute held a conversation featuring George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy, and Anatol Lieven, Eurasia Director, as they contemplate these questions in advance of the two year anniversary of Russia’s invasion and discuss their forthcoming report arguing that U.S. diplomacy is urgently needed for a negotiated settlement to preserve Ukraine’s future. They will be joined by Michael Kimmage, Professor of History at Catholic University and Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The conversation was moderated by Kelley Beaucar Vlahos, senior advisor for the Quincy Institute and editorial director at Responsible Statecraft.
