On March 22, Scowcroft Center military fellows Col Buss Barranco, USMC , COL Ben Johnson, USA, and Lt Col Tyson Wetzel, USAF were quoted in a BBC Mundo article titled “Russia and Ukraine: The gigantic economic cost that Moscow must pay to finance the war.” The article references the fellows’ military assessment on the conflict in Ukraine morphing into a war of attrition.
Forward Defense, housed within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, generates ideas and connects stakeholders in the defense ecosystem to promote an enduring military advantage for the United States, its allies, and partners. Our work identifies the defense strategies, capabilities, and resources the United States needs to deter and, if necessary, prevail in future conflict.
