Press release

24.03.2022- Russia after Putin/Friends of European Russia Forum

23.03.2022

Vladimir Putin is losing, both in the battlefield of war against Ukraine and economically, as Western sanctions continue to hit country’s economy. Russia under Putin is the new 'sick man of Europe'.

It is the main source of threats and problems on the European continent. Due to Putin’s unprovoked aggression and invasion of Ukraine, Russia will suffer long-term negative consequences for its political, economic, and social development. Russia will lose this war and there are different scenarios of how the situation inside the country will unfold, however, neither of them is good for Putin.

Therefore, it is important that we already start a discussion about how Russia after Putin will look like, how will it undergo deputinisation, and, most importantly, how the West can help Russians to bring their country onto a path of democratic development.

A discussion of our series Russian Dialogues on the topic of Russia after Putin will take place on 24 March, 2022, Thursday, 15.00-16.30 (CET - Brussels time), on the Zoom and will be held in English with interpretation to Russian.
