Chatham House experts examine the latest developments as Russia declares war with Ukraine and conducts large-scale military operations against the country.

Ukraine is surrounded on three sides by the Russian military and several cities across the country are affected by missile strikes. Ukrainians are preparing for dark days ahead but how will the world respond?

This event examines:

  • What does the size of the invasion mean for Ukraine?
  • What defences does it have to counter Russian military might?
  • Why did diplomacy not work?
  • What are the options for the US, UK, and Europe from here?
  • What is known about what Russia, and Ukraine, might do next?
