SUMMARY:The War in Ukraine: Russia's Approach and Implications for Defense and Security Policy
DESCRIPTION:
 "The war in Ukraine has seen both an unprecedented 
 degree of nuclear saber-rattling from 
 the Kremlin and a surge in military technology 
 innovation. The irony is that as Putin and 
 his coterie threaten nuclear holocaust with 
 a technology that is nearly 100 years old, 
 the Ukrainians have shown a remarkable ability 
 to innovate, using off-the-shelf technology 
 and their command of rocket science to shape 
 the fight to their advantage. This interplay 
 of old and new holds a number of risks for both 
 combatants: they are walking a thin line 
 between deterring each other and achieving their 
 military objectives. Rose Gottemoeller will 
 talk about the future implications of these 
 dynamics for defense and security policy."\n
