In partnership with the Center for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, we are pleased to invite you to the fourth joint Transatlantic Forum on Russia. Following Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, its military intervention into eastern Ukraine and its military operations in Syria, the transatlantic community continues to search for a principled and durable policy framework towards Russia. This timely forum will take place at a time of transition for U.S. policy toward Russia amidst a very dynamic European policy landscape as both sides of the Atlantic tackle the ongoing “Russia Challenge” anew.
