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.

After the presidential election, which Vladimir Putin won, a significant portion of the population doubts the legitimacy of the election results. These doubts will contribute to the rise of social and political movements in Russia.

For the moment, pragmatism has gained the upper hand over idealism and emotions in Russian-Ukrainian relations. As long as the two countries are willing to work together, they both have a good chance of achieving their core interests.
