• Deciphering Putin's Red Lines

  March 28, 2023, 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

  What are Putin's red-lines in this war of choice against Ukraine? Does he have "red lines"? Are we on the brink of nuclear war? These questions have been surprisingly front and center with the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine since late February 2022. Almost from the get-go of the war, the Kremlin began to issue lines in the sand that Ukraine and the West have repeatedly pressed, if not transgressed. Some have concluded, therefore, that Putin's threats are hollow, while others caution against challenging the Kremlin out of concerns about risking nuclear escalation.
