Three Years of War in Ukraine: Taking Stock
February 24, 2025, marks the third year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war has gone through many phases, from Ukraine's early battlefield successes in repelling the Russian invasion to Russia's recent incremental gains in Ukraine to the incursion in July 2024 of Ukrainian troops onto Russia's territory. The consequences of the war have been felt across the globe—in the new partnership structures Russia has been attempting to build with China, Iran, and North Korea, in higher prices for food and for other commodities, and in the global coalition of countries supporting Ukraine.
In this event, Pavlo Klimkin, the former Foreign Minister of Ukraine, and Serge Schmemann, a New York Times editor who covers the region, will discuss the nature of the war, the current status of the situation on the ground, and the prospects for a negotiated settlement to the war.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe”—an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
