Russian-Latin American Relations Following Russia’s War on Ukraine (5/3/23)

Please join the Program on U.S.-Russia Relations at the Harriman Institute for a panel discussion with Professor Vladimir Rouvinski, NPR Journalist Carrie Kahn, and Professor Elena Pavlova, on Russian-Latin American Relations following Russia's War on Ukraine. Moderated by Elise Giuliano.

In recent years, Russia has sought to challenge U.S. influence in Latin America, not only via ongoing ties to allies such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, but also by expanding relations with states such as Brazil and Argentina. When Russia invaded Ukraine last year, many states in Latin America responded with ambivalence. Our panel of experts will discuss why this is the case by examining ongoing reactions to the war there among both governments and populations. Has Russia “won” the messaging campaigns about the war? Panelists will also address how Western economic sanctions have created challenges for some states and unexpected economic opportunities for others, and how to understand current policy among Latin American states in the broader current international context.
