Senior Fellow @massdara.bsky.social on drone use in the Iran war and what the United States can learn from Ukraine: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

As Ukrainian and Russian delegations meet in Geneva today for another round of talks, Senior Fellow Eric Ciaramella explores how Putin could come to see a peace deal as tactically advantageous, even if his goal of subjugating Ukraine remains unchanged: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

If Prime Minister Takaichi wins snap elections, will Japan soon be threatening the Russian Far East and preparing to seize the disputed Southern Kuril Islands by force? Nothing could be further from the truth, writes @jamesdjbrown.bsky.social: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

The main aim of upgrading Russia’s nuclear forces for Putin was to gain an advantage over the West, including by strengthening the nuclear threat on all fronts, and that made a new arms race inevitable, argues Maxim Starchak: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

Senior Fellow @massdara.bsky.social joins @cnn.com to explain why there is strong reason to doubt that the Kremlin is negotiating in good faith on a Ukraine peace deal: www.cnn.com/2026/02/09/t...

carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat... Should Europe be negotiating directly with Russia? Seven scholars respond to our latest @carnegieeurope.bsky.social (deliberately provocative) question

“Never before has the U.S. been so successful in its attempts to convince Central Asia that cooperation with Washington is worth the irritation from China and Russia.” Temur Umarov on the possible future of the region: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

The White House wants to take advantage of Kyiv’s mounting problems to impose a peace agreement that is more favorable to Russia. But the Kremlin may still believe the battlefield is a more reliable way of achieving its goals, writes Tatiana Stanovaya: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

What went wrong in Russia? Was thrilled to discuss the sources of Russia's conduct with German Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Graf Lambsdorff & my colleague Ekaterina Schulmann in the newest episode of "Politika." This time with @koerber-ip.bsky.social . carnegieendowment.org/podcasts/car...

How has Iran’s twelve-day war pushed Tehran even closer to Moscow and led to new cooperation agreements, including in the nuclear sector? Nikita Smagin explains: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

After several turbulent weeks in Russia-Ukraine diplomacy, where do peace prospects actually stand? Eric Ciaramella joins Anastasiia Lapatina and Benjamin Wittes on the Lawfare Daily podcast to discuss: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lawf...

Armenia's election, like it or not, is being fought by outside actors as well. Russia and parts of the US diaspora have a new candidate to unseat Nikol Pashinyan. Pashinyan needs help to demonstrate progress in his Real Armenia agenda. My latest for @carnegieeurope.bsky.social

Syria’s new leadership faces no shortage of immediate problems, not least holding onto power and restoring order. Moscow is willing to assist it in those tasks to further its own ends, argues Ruslan Suleymanov: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

Central Asia is adapting its entire ideological agenda to impress one man: Donald Trump. The recent C5+1 summit was a new high point in US-Central Asian ties. But is this rapprochement real, or just risk? 🧵🧵🧵

What’s behind the arrest of Ramiz Mehdiyev, who was for decades one of Azerbaijan’s most influential politicians, and why has President Aliyev accused him of plotting a Russia-backed coup d’état? Read Bashir Kitachaev's analysis here:

Check out the latest Russia Contingency. I join the head of Lasar’s Group, one of Ukraine’s best and lesser known drone units to talk about their experience, how drone use is evolving, adaptation on both sides, and what the future holds. @WarOnTheRocks warontherocks.com/episode/ther...

"The main audience for proposals from the Russian elite is not in fact Trump, but Putin, who still seeks a landmark agreement with Washington." Andrey Pertsev on why figures close to Putin are trying to earn Trump's approval: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

Ultimately, the adoption of some scheme to appropriate Russia's frozen assets seems almost inevitable. Otherwise, it will not just be Ukraine that is at risk, but the very raison d’être of the EU, argues Alexander Kolyandr: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...

"While martial law has suspended formal democratic processes, it has not extinguished Ukraine’s democratic ambitions and track record of competitive politics and media freedom." Anatolii Oktysiuk and Balazs Jarabik on Ukraine's thawing political landscape:

Six months since its establishment, the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund is taking shape as an institutional partnership in the natural resources sector. Eric Green suggests it could be used to meet Kyiv's pressing defense needs as well:

"There are no longer any political guardrails on the country’s powerful security agencies, and the number of arrests of officials will only grow," predicts Tatiana Stanovaya in her new article. Read it here: carnegieendowment.org/russia-euras...
