3rd Annual Nunn School Symposium: Lessons from Russia’s War in Ukraine for the West

This half-day program explores what lessons the West should draw a year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It will consider both what can be learned about warfighting and about the broader role of statecraft.  While what has happened and what might happen are clearly relevant, the focus will be on what lessons can be drawn from what has happened thus far.
