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 Friday, December 19 at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center hosts a live event launching the newest report in its pathbreaking Russia Tomorrow series on how the Kremlin has justified its expanded war against Ukraine.
The latest Russia Tomorrow report, Narrating the war: Analyzing Russia’s narratives for its invasion of Ukraine, by author and journalist Casey Michel, examines the many competing claims Russia puts forth to shape its war narratives and justify its aggression in Ukraine.
Brian Whitmore, nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, moderates a virtual report launch discussion on what the Kremlin’s public rationales reveal about Putin’s true ambitions.
