Russia  has received support from its autocratic allies in the war in Ukraine. This  support includes receiving weapons, troops, and pathways to sanctions evasion.  By propping up Russia’s war effort, the other autocracies are allowing Russia  to continue its aggression in a way it otherwise could not. This event will  explore how Russia is receiving this support, what it means for Ukraine, and  how western governments could and should respond.
