McCloskey Speaker Series: In Collaboration with the Aspen Security Forum
Featuring Brookings Institution Senior Fellow and former Trump White House NSC Russia official Fiona Hill, and the Director General of the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service Mikk Marran. This conversation will explore the US and its allies' response to Russia’s assault on Ukraine, what more can be done to strengthen Ukraine’s position in its fight against Russia, and whether President Putin's power might be threatened from within the Kremlin. This session will be moderated by New Yorker columnist Susan Glasser. Following that, Anti-Corruption Foundation Executive Director Vladimir Ashurkov will then offer his perspective on the Russian invasion in a fireside chat. To close out the evening, senior officials from the US Treasury and Justice departments will team up to discuss unprecedented US sanctions and export controls on Russia. Yachts may steal the headlines, but our panel will also discuss how limiting Russia’s access to critical technology and sanctioning Russia’s defense-industrial base is a crucial part of the sanctions strategy.
