In response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, the United States has brought the full complement of US foreign policy tools to bear, short of direct military engagement. Using diplomacy and engagement with both friends and foes, its economic might and influence, and a wide array of financial and military assistance, the United States has been a major factor in Ukraine’s success thus far. Why is Ukraine’s fate so important to US interests, and how effective have these different foreign policy tools been?
Join us for a discussion with former US diplomat and senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs to learn more about America’s engagement on Ukraine.
