On October 19, 华体会鈥檚 Kleptocracy Initiative held a discussion on the threats posed by kleptocracy to states bordering the Russian Federation.

The expansion of the Kremlin鈥檚 kleptocracy is now seriously undermining the integrity of Europe. Nowhere is this threat more salient than in the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and Ukraine, whose security is directly threatened by Russia鈥檚 exported corruption, disinformation, and military aggression.

Pushing back against Russia鈥檚 kleptocratic onslaught should be a major national security and foreign policy priority for the U.S. and its allies. Our October 19 discussion examined the current state of affairs and suggested policies for containing this threat.
