This report summarises the main findings of the first meeting of the Taskforce on Public–Private Partnership in Fighting Financial Crime in Ukraine

To protect the innovation and emerging technologies critical to Western military advantage, the US Bureau of Industry and Security must reconsider its expectations for banks.

It is tempting to compare the two years. Any deal that Trump negotiates with Putin may have similar features to Munich: land for temporary peace. The West has already weakened its negotiating position by taking immediate NATO membership for Ukraine off the table. So what will happen if Putin renews his attack in one, three or five years?

With the return of Donald Trump imminent and President Volodymyr Zelensky’s proposal of NATO security guarantees for Ukraine’s unoccupied territories on the table, attention has turned to how peace might be made to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Now past its 1,000th day, Russia’s war on Ukraine seems set to continue. Yet new dynamics are in play and the international community needs to consider how to stabilise a potential future peace deal. As a complement to other vectors of support to Ukraine, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) should be part of the post-war stabilisation.

ATACMS striking Russia provide an opportunity to inflict significant damage. To take advantage of this, however, the targets must align with a wider plan.

Ending the war and establishing lasting peace in Ukraine is impossible without implementing practical measures to deter potential future waves of Russian aggression. Crafting an effective deterrence strategy, however, presents its own unique challenges.

North Korea’s entry into the Russia–Ukraine war has globalised the conflict, intensifying the risks as Ukraine faces two highly militarised adversaries.

After more than a decade of the largest war in Europe since the Second World War, the West can no longer ignore the fact that the tipping point of the global balance of power lies in Ukraine.

Sanctions aim to pressure regimes by targeting elites, but their inconsistent application and circumvention highlight the need for smarter, complementary measures to encourage change.

RUSI and the newly formed Open Source Centre (OSC) have agreed a strategic partnership to deliver novel, open-source based research on the war in Ukraine and other conflicts.

This paper outlines the core tasks and capabilities required by NATO members to provide coherent, layered protection from uncrewed aerial systems.

Ukraine faces a precarious future amid waning Western support. The immediate peril comes from the 2024 US presidential election, but the fundamental problem has been the failure of Europe to commit to the defeat of Putin’s invasion.

Following Ukraine’s signature of the Rome Statute, paving the way towards full ICC membership, it is more important than ever to ensure that open source intelligence can successfully enable accountability for Russian war crimes.
