In the three years since February 2022, traditional assumptions about diplomacy, military deterrence, and regional stability have been upended. Pathways toward peace might involve complex compromises and strategic recalibrations. Uncertainty surrounding any potential deal is compounded by shifting global alignments, particularly the impact of the changed US political landscape and developments within the European Union. This panel will explore the evolving dynamics of the peace efforts and the roles of various global players in shaping the future of this conflict.
