With the wider Russian war on Ukraine in its third year and greater uncertainty as a new U.S. administration prepares to take power in January 2025, this event brings together experts from across Stanford to discuss how states around the world view the conflict and its potential resolution. Some states have aligned with Ukraine, the United States and the European Union, viewing Russia's aggression as a gross violation of international law. Others, such as North Korea, Iran and China, have supported Russia economically and militarily. Some emerging powers, such as Brazil and India, have advocated for a peaceful and negotiated end to the conflict. And many developing states, which have complicated cross-cutting relations with Ukraine, Russia, the United States, the European Union and China, have chosen to remain unaligned, even if they recognize the war is a violation of the UN Charter. Erin Baggot Carter, Sumit Ganguly, and Harold Trinkunas will compare the full range of policy responses from across the globe. 

Scott Sagan, co-director of the Center of International Security and Cooperation, will moderate the discussion.
