The Impact of the Trump Presidency on the Russo-Ukrainian War
At our February event, AIIA WA, in collaboration with the Forrest Research Foundation, will host Richard Iron CMG OBE to discuss the Impact of the Trump Presidency on the Russo-Ukrainian War
As the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, Western indicators, although hard to accurately ascertain, suggest over half a million people have been killed or wounded, with many more displaced.
The Biden administration has maintained constant, if qualified, support for Ukraine with recent moves to influence the course of the conflict ahead of the looming uncertainty of the Trump administration.
While a re-elected Democratic administration may have preserved or increased its current level of support for Ukraine, President-elect Trump has signalled a markedly different approach. Throughout his election campaign, Trump has given numerous indicators about which way his second term would lean, including claims he would end the war within 24 hours if elected.
Even though the only predictable thing about Donald Trump is, famously, his unpredictability, we can explore what he has said about the war, what we think he is being advised, and what might be possible given the dynamics of the war and the characters of the combatants.
In this session Richard Iron will examine in particular the possibilities of a negotiated end to the war and the conditions that might have to be achieved to enable a lasting peace.

The Australian Institute of International Affairs for WA
The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) is an independent, non-profit organisation seeking to promote interest in and understanding of international affairs in Australia.
The WA Branch of the AIIA was founded in 1947 by Professor Fred Alexander of the University of WA, who became its first President. Like the earlier established branches in the other Australian states, the WA Branch was modelled on the British Royal Institute of International Affairs, based at Chatham House in London.
The WA Branch has maintained a steady membership, including many prominent West Australian and national leaders. Successive State Governors have served as the Branch's Official Visitor. The aim of the institute is to be an independent and non-political body that facilitates and encourages the study and debate of international questions.
Membership fees includes a subscription to The Australian Journal of International Affairs as well as two tickets at the member price to each of our our monthly meetings where you will learn about developments in international affairs of concern to the people of Western Australia. We rely on membership contributions and sponsorship of special events to keep our association running: we receive no core funding from government.
