We are excited to announce the return of the Young Professionals Track, consisting of additional activities before and during the conference for participants with fewer than five years of professional experience, including graduate students.
Can the Russo-Ukrainian War End Without Nuclear Use?
Starting even before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin made a series of nuclear threats. Now, the growing failure of his forces on the battlefield has created widespread concerns that he may order the use of nuclear weapons. How serious is this risk? What options does the United States and the broader international community have to try to deter or prevent Russian nuclear use? How do the possible consequences of a nuclear war compare to the negative precedent that would be set by offering concessions to Russia in an effort to negotiate an end to the war? And, how much worse would this precedent be if such concessions were offered only after Russia used nuclear weapons?
