Speakers

  • Chris Allan, Director, Eastern Europe & Central Asia, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office
  • Ben Noble, Associate Professor of Russian Politics, University College London
  • Ekaterina Schulmann, Non-Resident Scholar, Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
  • Gulnaz Sharafutdinova, Professor of Russian Politics & Director, King's Russia Institute, King's College London

The discussion will consider the following questions:

  • What effect will Putin's re-election have on the war in Ukraine?
  • What does it mean for the security of Europe? Faced with the prospect of another six years of Putin, how should Europe approach relations with Russia?
  • What would have to change (in Russia or the West) to return to a stable equilibrium?
  • What (if anything) can the West do to influence Russia's future development and post-Putin prospects?

The event

Our speakers will begin the event by making some opening remarks, after which Ian Bond, Deputy Director at the CER, will moderate a discussion held under the Chatham House Rule.

Tea and coffee will be served for in-person attendees from 15:00 and the event will begin at 15:30 London time.
