Our latest on Putin’s war in Ukraine, including insights on Russia’s early stumbles, the refugee crisis, and the possibility of regime change in Moscow.

Insights from RAND experts on flaws in Russia’s military personnel system; the importance of Ukrainian continuity of government; how Western leaders could prepare for the possibility of regime change in Russia; why host countries should view the refugee crisis as an economic opportunity as well as a humanitarian challenge; long-standing assumptions upended by the invasion; and why U.S. leaders should be wary of “foreign policy by moralistic duty.” For more information on this week’s episode, visit rand.org/podcast.
