With more than 100,000 Russian troops massed around Ukraine and warnings by the US - despite repeated Russian assertions to the contrary - that an imminent attack on Ukraine is likely, there is fear that Europe is closer to a major war than it has been since the breakup of former Yugoslavia.

What are the prospects for de-escalation and peace?
Join us for an engaging conversation among leading security experts from the U.S., the European Union, and Russia as they consider what the future holds for Ukraine and the European security architecture.
