The Center for Liberal Modernity cordially invites you to the online briefing “Europe’s Moment of Truth: Ensuring Ukraine’s Strength amid Uncer­tainty over the United States’ Allegiance”.

Wednesday, 17 December 2025
15:00–16:00 CET
Zoom

Together with our distin­guished speakers we want to address the flurry of negoti­a­tions surrounding a possible end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. What role should Europe play and what can we expect from the United States?

How serious are these diplo­matic moves, and what should we be prepared for? How can Europe and Ukraine success­fully shape the outcome of the negotiations?

Does Europe have the political will and the capacity to step up the support for Ukraine – if necessary, even without the United States – so that it can negotiate from a position of strength?

Or should we further try to find common ground with the Trump admin­is­tration, despite its evident tilt toward Moscow? Finally, we want to explore whether the recent devel­op­ments mark the de facto end of the transat­lantic alliance, and what such a shift would mean for Europe.

Speakers:

Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference

Constanze Stelzen­müller, Director of the Brookings’s Center on the United States and Europe

Maksym Skrypchenko, President of the Transat­lantic Dialogue Center

Moderator:

Ralf Fücks, Founder and CEO of the Center for Liberal Modernity
