It's unclear how or when the war in Ukraine will end. But once it does, Russia will remain a threat both to Ukraine and to U.S. and allied interests. So, how should Washington deal with Moscow after the conflict?
RAND researchers tackle this question in a new report. Because the postwar period is fraught with uncertainty, they considered a range of future scenarios based on how the conflict might end, how international events could evolve in the decade after the war, and how the United States may choose to deal with Russia.
It's critical to begin thinking through U.S. postwar strategy now, the authors write, as decisions made in the immediate aftermath of wars can have significant long-term consequences. In the case of Ukraine, these choices could help reduce the risk of future Russian aggression.

Deepfakes that move markets. Attacks on AI-enabled financial models. Memes that undermine economic stability. New technologies may bring new risks to the U.S. financial system.

According to new results from a RAND survey of educators, students in some states and schools may have more equitable access to mathematics learning opportunities than others. The findings show that many schools group students by math achievement level starting in elementary school. This practice—often called tracking—can limit or prevent students' access to advanced math classes, such as Algebra I, when they reach 8th grade. In turn, this can keep students from moving into even higher-level math courses in high school. Read more »

- Last week, RAND hosted a panel on reforming the Pentagon's planning, programming, budgeting, and execution process. You can watch the entire event on YouTube.
- Does your partner's snoring keep you up at night? If so, it could lead to serious health consequences, says RAND's Wendy Troxel, including an increased risk of poor mental health, cardiovascular disease, and even cognitive decline.
- Amid a lack of behavioral health care providers at military treatment facilities, service members are seeking care in record numbers. This supply-and-demand issue is not unique to DoD, RAND’s Carrie Farmer told Task & Purpose.
