Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 challenged much of the common Western understanding of Russia. How can the world better understand Russia? What are the steps forward for Western policy? The Eurasia Center’s new “Russia Tomorrow” series seeks to reevaluate conceptions of Russia today and better prepare for its future tomorrow.
On Wednesday, February 18 at 1:30 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center will host an event launching the newest report in its pathbreaking Russia Tomorrow series examining how Russia’s strategic culture is reflected at the negotiation table with its adversaries—particularly the United States.
The latest Russia Tomorrow report, Adversary at the table: Negotiating with Putin’s Russia, by authors Donald N. Jensen, adjunct professor at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, and Iuliia Osmolovska, Head of the Kyiv Office at GLOBSEC, examines Russia’s negotiating tactics and how the US can adjust its diplomatic strategies.
Brian Whitmore, nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, moderates a hybrid report launch discussion on negotiating with Putin’s Russia.
New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time. Registration for this event will close at 5:00 p.m. ET the day prior.
