An Assessment of Russian Defense Capabilities and Security Strategy

June 30, 2014 • 9:00 – 10:30 am EDT
Russia has shown a renewed willingness and ability to use military force (from irregular to high-end capabilities) to coerce its neighbors, the United States, and NATO allies. This raises a series of important questions for defense and security analysts and practitioners around the world. Most important, what are Russia's military and intelligence services really capable of? And what does Russian President Vladimir Putin intend to do over months and years to come?  

CSIS scholars will consider Russian capabilities, foreign and security strategy and policy, and strategic stability dynamics with the United States.
