It’s been almost one year since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. If one steps back from the daily news cycle, it’s clear that both sides have faced devastating impacts, including massive loss of life and severe damage to infrastructure and economic activity. 

What lessons can policymakers learn from the first year of the war? What will the next year look like? What steps can be taken to end the war? 

Join FP’s Ravi Agrawal for a conversation with two top Russia experts: Angela Stent, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Michael Kofman, the Russia studies research program director at the Center for Naval Analyses. Tune in for a detailed assessment of the war so far and analysis on what lies ahead.
