Ukraine at War: Four Perspectives from Ukrainian Civil Society
Thu, September 15th, 2022
In Person - Washington, DC & Live Online
Rapidly unfolding developments on the battlefield suggest that the momentum of the war in Ukraine is entering a potentially decisive phase. Two key elements of the incredible resilience and creativity of Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion are the country’s longstanding network of independent civil society organizations and its tradition of volunteerism. Notably, many of these organizations have long been led by women.
Join former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and Carnegie Endowment senior fellow Marie Yovanovitch for an extremely timely conversation with four leading civil society figures from Ukraine.
