Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr Samuel Ramani, Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.

This repositioning serves multiple objectives: strengthening ties with ambivalent Gulf actors, reinforcing Ukraine’s strategic value to the United States, and attracting much-needed investment into its defense and technology sectors.
