Causes and Consequences of Russia’s Year of War in Ukraine
Overview
On February 24, 2022 Russia began its full-scale invasion into Ukraine. Fighting has continued over the past year, along with brutal reports of missile strikes on civilian targets, forced deportation, and other atrocities, as well as Russia’s attempts to claim several Ukrainian territories. The Wilson Center marked one year of the invasion with a discussion reflecting on the early days of the war, Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian regions, and what transitional justice may look like when the fighting stops, featuring remarks from Amb. John Sullivan, Dr. Olena Lennon, and Kennan Institute Director William Pomeranz.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
