After 1000 days of Kyiv’s resistance, experts discuss how to secure Ukraine’s and Europe’s future.
The 19 November marks 1,000 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The country faces an ever-more ferocious fight for its future existence.
The 19th November marks 1,000 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The country faces an ever-more ferocious fight for its future existence.
Having been given time to adapt, largely due to the slow release of Western military aid, the Russian army is pressing home its advantage. Along the entire eastern frontline, the Russians are simultaneously bombarding Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and cities. With the election of Donald Trump in the US, it seems to many that the tide has turned definitively in Putin’s favour at the political, as well as the military, level.
Trump’s declared ambition to resolve the war in 24 hours implies a Russian-American deal, cutting Kyiv out of negotiations. Such an ‘agreement’ would endanger the country’s future and expose the rest of Europe.
This webinar will cover:
- Ukraine’s strategy of resistance in the context of Trump’s White House.
- The immediate risks during the transition period.
- How Kyiv sees Europe’s role in the new geopolitical environment. Will Kyiv completely give up on the US?
- The extent to which Germany, Ukraine’s second largest donor, can step in.
