Russia’s Nuclear Posture and Relations With the West
REGISTER TO ATTEND
Since the Ukraine crisis began in 2014, strained relations between the United States and Russia have limited the prospects of bilateral cooperation. In particular, joint efforts on nuclear arms control remain stalled and the possibility that Washington and Moscow will adopt more assertive conventional and nuclear security postures may have far-reaching consequences for global security from Europe to East Asia.
Carnegie–Tsinghua’s Tong Zhao will host a discussion with Carnegie Moscow’s Dmitri Trenin and Petr Topychkanov.
