With more than 100,000 Russian troops poised to invade Ukraine for the second time in the past ten years, the NATO alliance appears worryingly divided on an appropriate response. What are Vladimir Putin’s intentions? Does the West still have the will and capacity to deter Russia? Join Toomas Ilves, former president of Estonia and noted geostrategic analyst, for a conversation with Hudson Institute Walter P. Stern Distinguished Fellow Kenneth R. Weinstein on the Ukraine crisis and prospects for an effective policy response from the West.
