Presently the US – Russia relations are at the lowest point since collapse of USSR. This is a huge disappointment for all those who were expecting the emergence of the mutually beneficial strategic partnership or even alliance of these two great nations once there are no dividing ideological differences between them. Regrettably, this sad state of affairs is most harmful not only to the United States and Russia but to the world’s security and stability in general.

The current crisis in Ukraine, which many see as a result of U.S. - Russia geopolitical confrontation, underscores once again the urgent necessity of developing a new foreign policy agenda that will benefit both American and Russian long term strategic interests.

Please join for a timely and insightful discussion of this important matter with a group of leading American and Russian Experts first on Monday, June 16, 2014 from 1.00 to 5.00 PM at the Hart Senate Office Building, Room 902.
