Скачать или смотреть The War in Ukraine and Reducing the Risk of Nuclear Weapons Use

Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has set in motion a catastrophic war. The consequences of this war will be both tragic and far-reaching, including with respect to nuclear nonproliferation and risk reduction. Consistent with the CNS mission of promoting nonproliferation education and analysis, the Center will be offering a series of webinars about the nuclear challenges and risks that have arisen as a result of this unfolding crisis.

In the second podcast in the Nuclear Threats and the War in Ukraine, Dr. Nikolai Sokov, Senior Fellow at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation, and Dr. Ulrich Kühn, Director of the Arms Control and Emerging Technologies Program, IFSH Hamburg, discuss the risk of use of nuclear weapons in the context of the war in Ukraine. The experts also address the impact of the war on the international nonproliferation regime and national decisions to forego nuclear weapons. Dr. Hanna Notte, Senior Research Associate at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation, moderates the discussion.

In a fast-changing landscape with countless unknowns, this series aims to provide timely information about these critical issues and a forum for constructive dialogue.
