Join the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center and the Charles Koch Institute for an online debate on US policy toward Russia.

For years, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive actions abroad have generated headlines and given him an outsized reputation as an international player. He has invaded Ukraine, changed de facto international borders, and flouted international law. US officials and lawmakers have imposed sanctions and taken other measures, but Russian behavior has not changed. Is US policy toward Moscow too confrontational? Is there a better way for the international community to deal with the challenges posed by Putin and Russia?
