On Thursday, December 18 at 12:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center will host a discussion on the myriad threats, both foreign and domestic, facing Ukraine today.
Russia’s war against Ukraine shows no signs of abating as Moscow ramps up strikes on civilian energy infrastructure and attempts slow, costly advances at the front. A major corruption scandal has undermined the government’s credibility and highlighted the need for deep structural reform. Meanwhile, negotiations continue to establish Trump’s goal of a durable peace, but with proposals in play that would, in fact, facilitate Kremlin aggression in the future. Also important is the debate among Ukraine’s European partners regarding the sending of a €165 billion loan to Kyiv secured by frozen Russian sovereign assets at an essential moment for the continent’s security. Unlocking new resources would shore up Ukraine’s resistance.
This conversation, moderated by Shelby Magid, will discuss Ukraine’s outlook going into 2026.
