Russia Brief: Russia, the Invasion and the World Order
With its brutal attack on Ukraine, Russia has ruined its ties with the West, and now is turning to rogue states for weapons, and seeking political support in the Global South. How does Vladimir Putin define Russia’s role in the international order? Can he attain it? What does Putin’s war mean for global security?
In this month’s “Russia Brief,” Jill Dougherty talks with John Sullivan, US Ambassador to Russia for both the Trump and Biden administrations. Now back from Moscow, Ambassador Sullivan will provide an inside view of dealing with Vladimir Putin and his government in a time of severe crisis.
Ambassador John Sullivan, former US Deputy Secretary of State and former US Ambassador to the Russian Federation, is a Distinguished Fellow at the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University. He is also a partner in the Washington, DC and New York offices of Mayer Brown LLP, a global law firm, and co-lead of the firm’s National Security practice. Ambassador Sullivan’s career spans four decades in public service in prominent diplomatic and legal positions under five US presidents and in private law practice. Most recently, from December 2019 to October 2022, he was the US Ambassador to Russia.
