Europe’s East

Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, presents the EU with its biggest foreign policy challenge in three decades. The bloc has to operate outside of its comfort zone and forge a new common strategy toward the countries of its Eastern neighborhood as well as Russia.

The Europe’s East project seeks to inform and improve strategic thinking about policy towards countries such as Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Russia. It offers in-depth analysis on the EU’s Eastern neighbors and provides policy recommendations for EU decisionmakers.
