In this series, the scholars Liana Fix and Michael Kimmage illuminate the possible paths the current war might take, revealing the effects each outcome could have on those two countries, the region, and the wider world—and the implications for U.S. policy. 

 

Part 1: What If Russia Wins?
Part 2: What If Russia Loses?
Part 3: What If Russia Makes a Deal?
Part 4: What If the War in Ukraine Doesn’t End?
