Security experts discuss Russian sanctions and how the EU and the US can demonstrate more flexibility without signaling a lack of resolve.
On 24 October security experts met at the Hertie School to discuss the future of European and US on Russia. Panelists Clara Portela, Senior Associate Analyst at the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), Thierry de Montbrial, Executive Chairman of the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri), and Miguel Berger, Director General for Economic Affairs and Sustainable Development at the Federal Foreign Office Berlin, debated the political and economic effects the sanctions regime has had, both in Russia and the EU, and whether there is a need to rethink.
The discussion was moderated by Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, Senior Professor for Security Policy and Diplomatic Practice at the Hertie School, Director of the school’s Centre for International Security, and Chairman of the Munich Security Conference.
