The Russo-Ukrainian war is now at a critical point, especially after the election of Donald Trump as US President who has made a rapid 'peace deal' a centrepiece of his foreign policy goals. This expert roundtable is designed to widen public discussion on recent developments with a particular focus on the evolving situation in Ukraine including developments in the Russian-occupied territories, the nature of possible peace deals and plans for post-war reconstruction in Ukraine.
The event will also exhibit posters from the 'Blue-Yellow Series' by acclaimed designer Yurko Gutsulyak.
Tea/coffee and Ukrainian snacks included.
