The Regional Studies Center (RSC) released a brief two-page RSC Policy Note on 7 March 2025, entitled “The U.S. Policy Shift on Aid to Ukraine: Implications for the Baltic States,” focused on the dramatic and confrontational policy toward Ukraine.
Abstract
The repercussions from the Trump Administration’s abrupt cutoff of military assistance and real-time intelligence to Ukraine continue to reverberate throughout Eurasia. This U.S. move to reverse its policy supporting Ukraine since Russia’s failed invasion was accelerated after the embarrassment of the televised White House assault by President Trump and his Vice President against Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. But the wider implications are already visible, as demonstrated by the necessity for a coordinated response from the European Union (EU) and triggering concern in the Baltic region.
As an independent think tank in Armenia, the Regional Studies Center (RSC) publishes various analytical reports and assessments aimed at promoting informed debate about issues related to Armenian public policy, particularly in the areas of security and foreign policy, and to encourage critical thinking about Armenia’s post-war strategy.
