A Pivotal Year: Assessing the Russia-Ukraine War in 2024

Tue. June 11th, 2024
In-Person & Live Online

Ukraine faces its most difficult moment on the battlefield since the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The country’s electricity grid is under strain after months of targeted Russian missile attacks, and in May, Russia opened a new front near Kharkiv. U.S. aid is finally on its way after Congress’s months long delay, but will it be enough to help Ukrainian forces stabilize their positions? Can Ukraine fix its manpower challenges and rebuild its force? What are Russia’s vulnerabilities heading into 2025? How can Ukraine's allies in NATO use the upcoming seventy-fifth anniversary summit to signal to Moscow their enduring commitment to Ukraine's security?

Please join Dara Massicot, senior fellow in the Carnegie Endowment’s Russia and Eurasia Program, for a conversation on these topics with Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Ukraine’s former defense minister; Hanna Shelest, director of security programs at the Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism”; and Michael Kofman, senior fellow in Carnegie’s Russia and Eurasia Program.
