The current conflict in Ukraine has created the most severe crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. Ukraine’s fate hangs in the balance. Renewed international diplomacy strengthens hopes for a negotiated settlement, but the spectre of all-out war still looms large. This roundtable will bring together experts to discuss the current tension from different perspectives. Our speakers will cover the Russian and Ukraine position, as well as the role West in the conflict

Speakers:
- Prof. Pavel Baev (the Peace Research Institute Oslo)
- Yaroslava Marusyk (University of Groningen)
- Tony van der Togt (the Clingendael Institute and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
- Prof Jaap de Wilde (University of Groningen)

We also would like to thank our partner Globalization Studies Groningen (GSG) for organizing this roundtable!
