After toppling Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the rebel group, and former al-Qaeda affiliate– Hei’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) faces the task of building a new governing authority. Syria’s immediate neighbours and other interested powers, including Russia and the U.S., are watching intently to see whether reports of HTS’ moderation turn out to be accurate or aspirational. Many fear the country could slide back into factional fighting if the informal understandings made among armed groups after the regime’s demise break down. Some are reaching out to open lines of communication with HTS; others are striking quick-fix deals to protect their interests; and others – particularly Türkiye, Israel and the U.S. – are also using military force to address perceived threats and advance their interests. Against this backdrop, Crisis Group experts offer a 360-degree view of how the latest developments in Syria could impact regional politics. https://lnkd.in/eied43yP

Three years after Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv is struggling to replenish its troops. Mobilisation issues have hampered Ukraine’s ability to repel Russian forces and could affect future peacemaking efforts, including those promised by Donald Trump when he takes office in January 2025. Any peace deal that does not fully capitulate to Moscow will need to ensure Ukraine can deter renewed Russian aggression. With NATO-style defence guarantees unlikely, Ukraine’s best option for long-term security is a capable military—one that requires effective mobilisation and training reforms. In this Q&A, Crisis Group expert Simon Schlegel examines the current reforms, their shortcomings, and what Kyiv can do to build the army it needs. https://lnkd.in/eSuE2-9j
