  • When: November 21, 2017, 19:00 – 21:00

Russian aggression against Ukraine represents perhaps the greatest challenge to European security since 1945. Not only has it been an attack on the very foundations of the system of international law, it also raises with new urgency the question of how far the offensive ambitions of the current Russian regime can go.

The monograph being presented outlines the broader background to the latest Russian aggression and provides an analysis of developments in Ukraine relating to the current armed conflict since 2014. The main causes and the course of the Russian hybrid military campaign, along with the impact of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war on today’s international order, will be discussed by Jan Šír, Karel Svoboda and Luboš Švec from the Institute of International Studies’ Department of Russian and Eastern European Studies, David Svoboda from the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes and journalist Jefim Fištejn from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Chaired by Ondřej Kundra from the weekly Respekt.
