On Wednesday, August 20 at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, Eurasia Center, and Transatlantic Security Initiative will host an expert discussion on the next steps for transatlantic coordination in support of Ukraine.
In the past week, policymakers have begun some of the highest-stakes diplomacy surrounding Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. On August 15, US President Donald Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaksa for a carefully watched bilateral summit. Following that meeting, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and seven European leaders at the White House for further discussions and coordination on the critical details to achieve peace in Ukraine including potential ceasefires, security guarantees, and the future of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Following the meeting, Zelenskyy said discussions over security guarantees—with details around European and US participation unspecified—would come within ten days.
As Russia’s war against Ukraine continues, and against the backdrop of negotiations for the future of Ukraine’s security, Atlantic Council experts will discuss the current state of transatlantic support for Ukraine, the prospects for future negotiations with Russia, and Europe’s role in securing peace in Ukraine.
This conversation will take place virtually on YouTube and X. To attend virtually, please register above.
