The collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam has left hundreds of thousands of people without drinking water and triggered mass evacuations in a country struggling with ongoing hardship.
Six graphics illustrate the extraordinary level of support the United States has provided Ukraine this past year in its war against Russian invaders.
Turkey
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unorthodox policies have rocked Turkey’s economy, leaving him with no choice but to turn toward orthodoxy and hope for the best.
Steven A. Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council, sits down with James M. Lindsay to discuss what the reelection of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan means for U.S.-Turkey relations and the future of NATO.
Immigration and Migration
Comprehensive immigration reform has eluded Congress for years. With border crossings at a record high, how are policymakers responding?
Record numbers of migrants seeking to cross the southern U.S. border are challenging the Joe Biden administration’s attempts to restore asylum protections. Here’s how the asylum process works.
Public Health
Opioid addiction and abuse in the United States has become a prolonged epidemic, endangering public health, economic output, and national security.
Latin America
Forget regional integration. Basic diplomacy will remain an uphill battle until the region’s leaders return to a shared definition of democracy.
Three decades after its founding, Latin America’s largest trade bloc continues to deal with internal divisions, including over a stalled trade deal with the European Union. How could the return of Brazil’s Lula change the calculus?
Brazil has long sought a greater role on the world stage, but political upheaval and other enduring challenges have complicated its efforts.
United States
Now that Congress voted to pass a bill based on the Biden-McCarthy compromise, an immediate debt ceiling crisis appears to have been averted. Still, a much larger debt problem awaits.
As the U.S. government grapples with another deadline to increase its debt ceiling in 2023, economists warn that a possible default could have disastrous economic consequences.
Events
Panelists discuss the status of democracy in Latin America, including the possibility of increased U.S. support, and the trends contributing to fluctuations in democracy across the region.

Both Richard Haass and Shannon O'Neil will be speaking from CFR's headquarters in New York.
White House Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall discusses how the Biden Administration prepares for and responds to a broad range of threats to the Homeland.
The Kenneth A. Moskow Memorial Lecture on Homeland Security and Counterterrorism honors the memory of longtime Council member Kenneth A. Moskow, who made this event possible through a generous bequest.
