U.S. Policy Toward Russia and Ukraine

Andrea Mitchell moderated a discussion at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace at the release of a report looking at U.S. policy toward Russia and Ukraine. The report urged a cautious approach in U.S. relations toward Russia. Among the panelists was Senator Christopher Murphy (D-CT), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Richard Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state during the George W. Bush administration. Both men said it was important to exercise caution as President Trump engaged with Russia and its president, especially as Russia had continued to act aggressively toward neighboring Ukraine.

Guiding Principles for a Sustainable U.S. Policy Toward Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia: Key Judgments From a Joint Task Force was a policy outlook from the joint Carnegie Endowment-Chicago Council on Global Affairs Task Force on U.S. Policy Toward Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia co-chaired by former Deputy Secretary Armitage and Senator Murphy. close
