With the Russian military massed along the Ukrainian border, accompanied by the Russia-orchestrated migrant crisis in Belarus and staged gas crisis in Europe, Moscow is leading a well-planned purposeful hybrid destabilization campaign. Kremlin-controlled media is trumpeting threats of war to extinguish Ukraine’s statehood, and Ukraine’s key allies are concerned that another Russian military offensive against Ukraine may be imminent.
While Ukrainian leaders and civil society work to shore up Western support for Ukraine, Putin redraws red lines and consistently makes it clear he does not accept Ukraine’s independence.
- What are the Kremlin’s real intentions?
- Is the democratic world ready for a decisive response to demonstrate to Russia that the rules-based international order will prevail?
- What can Ukraine’s international partners do to stop Moscow’s imperial ambitions?
