Resilience, Resistance, Renewal: Two Years of the Full-Scale War in Ukraine
After two years of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine, the world remains inspired by Ukrainian resilience and resistance in the face of genocide and atrocities. What does an act of Ukrainian resistance look like? What are the obstacles confronting Ukrainian society and its partners abroad? How do we defend Ukrainian culture and identity as cities are being razed to the ground?
Ukraine’s formidable challenges range from documenting ongoing war crimes to facing political complications that become inevitable in the midst of a colonial war. On the eve of the war’s second anniversary, leading experts convene to explore where the full-scale invasion stands, how we arrived at this current moment, and, most importantly, what needs to be done to ensure a lasting Ukrainian victory.
Speakers include 2022 Nobel Peace Prize winner and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, Oleksandra Matviichuk (joining virtually); Volodymyr Yermolenko, president of PEN Ukraine; and Kristina Hook, nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center.
