Ukraine War: Outlook for peace

Dragonfly is pleased to invite you to a special online briefing in which we will assess the risks of US disengagement and explore how Moscow may exploit the moment to pressure Europe through renewed military action and political destabilisation.

This will take place on Thursday, 26 June at 1600hrs London / 1700hrs Paris / 1900hrs Dubai / 1100hrs New York.

President Trump appears to be stepping back from the Russia-Ukraine settlement process, telling European leaders that Putin ‘isn’t ready to end the war’. As US engagement wanes, Russia is shifting from attrition to escalation, expanding ground assaults in northeastern Ukraine. Taking place the day after the NATO Summit in The Hague, this briefing will assess the risks of US disengagement and explore how Moscow may exploit the moment to pressure Europe through renewed military action and political destabilisation.

In this briefing, our specialists will:

• Unpack the outcomes of the NATO summit and how they may influence the trajectory of the war
• Assess Trump’s posture toward the Russia-Ukraine conflict and implications for Western unity
• Examine Russian military activity in Ukraine, including the prospect of a ‘buffer zone’
• Explore Russia’s potential objectives ahead of any future ceasefire
• Analyse how diminished US involvement could impact NATO cohesion and European leverage
• Consider the implications for business with operations across the region

The briefing will include an opportunity for you to pose questions to our panel.
