The Russia–Ukraine War and Transatlantic Relations

This chapter considers transatlantic relations from the perspective of allies’ cooperation in response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2022. After providing a contextual background, we consider three scenarios for cooperation: transatlantic disintegration, muddling through and moving forward. Regardless of which of them comes true, however, policy implications point to very similar steps that the European Union (EU) needs to undertake.
