WCEE Distinguished Lecture. The War in Ukraine, One Year In
A discussion with Alexander Vindman, special musical performance, and candlelight vigil
February 24 marks one year since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Join the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia for a conversation with Ukrainian-born retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, former Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council. We'll examine the current state of the war and its impacts on the Ukrainian people; the implications for global security; and prospects for peace and rebuilding.
Discussion moderated by Geneviève Zubrzycki, professor of sociology and WCEE Director, and John Ciorciari, professor of public policy and director of the Ford School's Weiser Diplomacy Center.
Featuring a special performance by members of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America.
Event will conclude with a procession from Rackham to the Diag for a candlelight vigil.
