Three years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine remains sovereign and independent, with strengthened security and political ties to Europe and the United States. But its defensive war and Washington’s support for Kyiv stand at a turning point: Ukraine faces challenges on the battlefield, and President Donald Trump has vowed to bring the war to an end while pursuing a broader foreign and trade policy agenda that is rattling the trans-Atlantic alliance.
On February 24, 2025, the Brookings Center on the United States and Europe and Lawfare held a discussion on the war in Ukraine, looking at the path of U.S. and European relations with Ukraine before and during the conflict as well as what lies ahead in 2025 and beyond. The discussion featured Brookings experts as well as the co-hosts of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo’s new limited series narrative podcast “Escalation,” which chronicles the surreal twists and turns between the United States and Ukraine through the lens of the journalists, diplomats, spies, and ambassadors who crafted the relationship between the two countries.
