This session helped attendees, who are simultaneously shapers of global trends and subject to them, to begin to understand opaque risk landscapes across geographies, how to identify opportunities and how to operate in ambiguity while minimizing downside risks.

	The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Future of the World	Mon, 26.06.2023	Panels and Discussions	Ivan Krastev Timothy Snyder Misha Glenny		The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Future of the World Mon, 26.06.2023 Speakers: Ivan Krastev Timothy Snyder Misha Glenny Series: Panels and Discussions The Russo-Ukrainian War recalls all of the half-forgotten precedents and warnings from the past.

We invite you to a discussion between two thinkers who bring together an expertise in the region with a concern for the broadest possible questions of international order and justice. Read more
