Putin’s attack on Ukraine is a litmus test for the transatlantic alliance’s resilience in both economic and military terms. What is an appropriate response to the Russian aggression? Along with economic sanctions, the Western world and in particular NATO will need to review its military capabilities and strategies to implement both deterrence and to assert readiness in the face of further Russian aggression.
Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former Allied Land Command of the United States Army Europe, will analyze in a discussion with Dr. Meike Zwingenberger, executive director of the Bavarian Center for Transatlantic Relations at Amerikahaus, the current military policies that can be effective in containing Putin’s imperialist efforts in Ukraine and potentially elsewhere.
