On Wednesday, the Scowcroft Center's @AndrewLPeek met with @ZelenskyyUa on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly alongside @ACEurasia and @AtlanticCouncil colleagues.
I thank all the experts and leaders of U.S. think tanks for the meeting: John Walters, Luke Coffey, Robert Doar, Frederick Kempe, Jenna Ben-Yehuda, Shelby Magid, Geoffrey Pyatt, Paula Dobriansky, Ambassador John Herbst, Andrew L. Peek, Evelyn Farkas, Cindy McCain, Kimberly Kagan, Frederick Kagan, Carrie Filipetti, James Jay Carafano, Michael Froman, Daniel Baer, Philip Luck, Alina Polyakova, Kurt Volker, Eileen Donahoe, and Joshua Rudolph.
It was a very useful conversation. It is important that everyone is closely following what is happening in Ukraine, how the negotiations are progressing, and what prospects we have. I’m grateful for the questions, your engagement, and your desire to help Ukraine, support our people, find the right path to ending the war, and guarantee security.
We had less time to talk than there were topics we all are interested in, but we could see from everyone’s words, actions, and views a genuine desire to work together on important things that strengthen the protection of people’s lives and freedom. The more we work together, the more reliable our solutions will be and the more opportunities we will have to achieve a just peace. Thank you all for your support!

"It is essential that this and all administrations be prepared for biological threats, including those that could be created or driven by AI. Organizational preparedness is just as important for the White House as it is for the nation as a whole," writes @DrAshaMGeorge in a new piece on national biodefense leadership.

🚨New report! The next major conflict the United States fights will unfold on a battlefield shaped by AI and autonomous systems, in contested environments where connectivity is often degraded or denied.
