Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had a ripple effect on global politics, including in the Middle East.

In a new video for the Washington Institute’s video series, Middle East Matters, Friedmann Fellow Hanin Ghaddar sat down with Institute Goldberger Fellow Grant Rumley and Senior Fellow Anna Borshchevskaya to discuss the implications of Russia’s war in Ukraine and its impact on U.S. foreign policy. The experts address how the war has affected Russia’s overall geostrategic position in the Middle East, and offer potential recommendations for U.S. policy. The scholars are members of the Institute’s Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation Program on Great Power Competition and the Middle East.
