One Year After Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

This week marks the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. RAND experts have engaged with Congress in the months leading up to the war as Russia was assembling its forces near Ukraine’s borders, immediately in the wake of the Russian invasion, and ever since. They have been studying the conflict from many angles, offering their analysis on topics ranging from Russia’s military tactics and capabilities, escalation dynamics, the potential for diplomacy, economic sanctions, the refugee crisis, and more.

As the war grinds on, RAND experts will continue to analyze the conflict and provide their expertise to Congress. Below is a selection of publications and commentaries that you might find useful. You can find additional analysis at Russia’s War in Ukraine: Insights from RAND and may reach out to ocr@rand.org with any specific questions.
