Ukraine’s War of Independence: Damage Account and Western Support
On 22 March, at 2 pm, the Center for Liberal Modernity in cooperation with Naftogaz Ukraine and the Ukrainian Federation of Employers of the Oil and Gas Industry invites you to our Webinar to discuss the current situation in Ukraine and the urgent steps to support Ukraine.
Since the start of the Russian war against Ukraine on February 24th, thousands of civilians and soldiers lost their lives, and even more, were wounded, millions of people are displaced and fleeing. Infrastructure in dozens of cities was intentionally destroyed. Ukraine’s estimated losses from the destruction caused by the Russian invasion already account for over USD 100 billion, plus new damages every day. While the Ukrainian military is bravely defending the country, more determined international support in all dimensions as well as tougher economic sanctions against Russia are urgently needed to stop Putin’s war of aggression.
In this webinar, Ukrainian and German experts from politics, business, and civil society will discuss (1) What, in terms of loss and damage, is the impact of the Russian war against Ukraine up until now? (2) Which financial, military, humanitarian, and political steps must be taken in order to help Ukraine sustain its independence?
