Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine on February 22, 2022, setting off the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II and triggering a humanitarian crisis. Since that day, over 18,000 Ukrainian civilians have died, and more than 8 million Ukrainians have fled their country.
At this member-exclusive Baker Briefing, the Honorable John F. Tefft, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2014-2017, joined the Honorable David M. Satterfield, director of the Baker Institute, to discuss the factors shaping the Russia-Ukraine war. Their conversation explored the events that have transpired since February 2022 and what developments the second year of conflict might bring.
