Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed Europe forever. Robin Forsberg and Jason C. Moyer of the Global Europe Program examine how the rekindling of dormant discussions over security and alliances are taking shape and look at the implications. “We can safely argue that the United States, and most of the rest of the world, find themselves spectacularly ill-prepared to meet the challenge of rising demand for critical minerals,” said Duncan Wood, Vice President for Strategy & New Initiatives, who called for action from the U.S. government and its allies and partners during his recent Congressional testimony.

“It’s painfully obvious, tragically obvious, that Putin and his forces have committed war crimes. At law, I think some people want to see Putin in the dock. That’s a long road, and that’s difficult in many ways and that doesn’t prove satisfying in moving with any speed or haste.” Wilson Center President and CEO Mark Green
