About

Currently, we are observing an almost unprecedented degradation of US-Russia relations. Unilateral sanctions are today’s preferred tools of statecraft in managing an ongoing crisis. Unfortunately, they do not reflect the current state of affairs of the international system and the global economy. Sanctions are being used as alternative to direct military confrontation between two nuclear superpowers and their application is further limited by the nature of their profound bilateralism, which neglects the reality of today’s world order and global challenges. The main purpose of this talk is an attempt to look into the future of US-Russia relations, beyond the existing crisis and the limited agenda, to envision the desired future of this relationship in 20 years.
