Dr Gwendolyn Sasse writes about how Russian policy has affected the flow of Syrian migrants

Gwendolyn Sasse has written a piece for Carnegie Europe (10 November) entitled 'Is Russia exploiting European disunity over the refugee crisis?'

She writes: "Putin’s Syria policy reinforces the political dynamics that are putting the EU to its biggest-ever test, but even without Russia’s actions, the refugee flows would continue."
