U.S. Arms to Ukraine: Tilting the Balance?
The United States is now considering sending defensive weapons to help arm Ukrainian forces in their fight against pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine. The conflict has now taken more than 5,300 lives, roughly 2,000 of them since the September 5 ceasefire. What would be the outcome of changing policy and sending military assistance to Ukraine? Would such a step help Ukraine resist the aggression or further escalate the war? How would it change America’s role in the conflict?
Join us BY PHONE as four experts in the U.S and Ukraine analyze this potentially decisive moment in U.S and Russian relations.
