SUMMARY:China-EU Relations One Year into the Ukraine War
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event  \nDescription: As the war in Ukraine drags on\, China-EU relations face mounting uncertainties. Beijing has attempted to tread a fine line between maintaining its strategic partnership with Russia\, while mitigating downward pressure on relations with the European Union. China’s 12-point position paper is the latest sign of Beijing’s attempt to portray itself as a neutral party to the conflict in Ukraine. On the other hand\, China’s failure to use its influence on Russia to respect the UN Charter has cast doubt in Brussels on the sincerity of Beijing’s plan. Despite their differences\, China and the EU maintain common interests in promoting global trade and addressing challenges like climate change. How is Beijing’s position on the Ukraine war impacting China-EU relations? Can Brussels and Beijing cooperate on transnational issues\, while managing their differences? What role can Europe play in rising U.S.-China competition? Join Carnegie for a conversation featuring Dan Baer\, Chan Heng Chee\, Yawei Liu\, and Paul Haenle on the state of China-EU relations. This panel is the fourth of the Carnegie Global Dialogue Series 2022–2023 and will also be recorded and published as a China in the World podcast. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Unmanned aircraft systems: Lessons for Ukraine and NATO
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Council |In-Person and Virtual \nDescription: Throughout Russia’s invasion\, Ukrainian forces have proven highly adaptative and innovative in their use of emerging technologies and concepts on the battlefield. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) especially have been essential in Ukraine’s battlefield adaptation from delivering strikes to disorganize Russian lines of attack early in the war to enabling sensor platforms in Ukraine’s digitalized approach to combat. Looking ahead\, as Ukraine seeks to retake large swaths of territory and hold Russian positions at risk\, Ukraine’s requirements for UAS will also likely change. The panel discussion will address the role of UAS in Ukraine’s current operations and future capability requirements to conduct and sustain Ukraine’s defense against Russia\, including through critical support from NATO allies and Ukraine’s global partners. The panel will also seek to address larger questions for the future of UAS requirements for NATO allies and their role in NATO’s new defense and deterrence posture\, especially as the Alliance approaches its annual Summit in Vilnius\, Lithuania\, this July. \nThe registration link can be found below.
