What is the future for Ukraine? On the second anniversary of the Ukraine war we need to ask four questions about the future of Ukraine and peace in Europe. First, how strong is the commitment of the US and the EU to supporting Kyiv’s war effort? Secondly, what kind of peace settlement can realistically emerge? Thirdly, what are the demographic consequences of the war for Ukraine? And lastly, what type of assistance will Ukraine require to rebuild? Examining these issues will help refine US and EU policy towards Ukraine.
