War in Ukraine and its Deterrence Implications

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its alerting of its nuclear forces bring a host of difficult questions for the United States and its allies. What are the real risks of nuclear conflict? Did an erosion of deterrence contribute to the evolution of the crisis? What are President Putin's long-term objectives and how is war in Ukraine intended to support them? What are the potential implications for the future of NATO's deterrence posture? This short-notice CGSR roundtable will feature members of the CGSR research team whose work touches on these questions. The roundtable will be structured to leave plenty of time for discussion with those signed in online.
