Reflections on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: One Year On
Reflections on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: One Year On
24 Mar 2023
IIEA
According to Pat Cox, the war in Ukraine is set to intensify in the coming months. Its duration and outcome are indeterminate. Neither the Russian aggressor nor the Ukrainian defender is yet prepared to take any decisive step towards a cessation of hostilities. For both sides, establishing a premature peace would carry significant risks. Making peace would be infused with politically sensitive complexity, not only for Ukraine and Russia but also for Ukraine’s allies, and especially for the EU. In his address to the IIEA, Pat Cox suggests that underpinning a sustainable and just peace for the EU is a geo-strategic investment which is in the interest of both the EU and Ukraine.  About the Speaker:  Pat Cox serves as the President of the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is also the leader of the European Parliament’s Needs Assessment and Implementation Mission on Parliamentary Reform of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Previously, Pat Cox served as President of the European Parliament from 2002 to 2004, President of the ELDR Group in the European Parliament from 1998 to 2001, and President of European Movement International from 2005 to 2011.  Recorded on the 22nd of March 2023

A debate with Simon Tay, Chairman of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA), Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore, and Singapore’s Ambassador to Greece. More than one year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing conflict has only exacerbated the geopolitical tensions that increasingly threaten global peace and stability. Suffering from the economic consequences of the ongoing war, much of the Global South is gripped in a battle of narratives around the future of the international system, fueled by an ever-deepening strategic rivalry, notably between the United States and China. Though far from the fighting in Ukraine, Southeast Asia finds itself compelled to adjust to the new realities brought on by the war and great power competition. The experiences, perspectives, and positions of the countries in the region will play an important role in determining how the global order will evolve in the years to come. Discussant: Delphine Allès, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (INALCO) Moderator: Françoise Nicolas, Director, Center for Asian Studies, Ifri.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine one year ago, EU cities & regions stood by Ukaine. They welcomed millions of displaced Ukrainians and provided concrete support to communities in Ukraine. The CoR has given impetus to actions of support across the EU, creating the Info Support Hub - a network to provide humanitarian aid - helping organise summer camps for children, launching the Alliance of Cities and Regions for reconstruction of Ukraine, giving Kyiv Mayor Klitschko honorary membership and launching a call to donate energy equipment. Today, more than one year into the war, EU cities & regions renew their pledge to fully support Ukraine and its people for as long as it takes.

As part of our Talking Geopolitical Podcast Series, we have talked to the first EU Ambassador for the Arctic and a Member of the Board of Directors of the International Polar Foundation. We discussed the current state of the EU Arctic Policy, emphasising the Arctic security challenges, especially after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We touched upon the European Union's role as a geopolitical actor and its struggle to gain influence in a region with more and more competitors, such as China and India. Ms Marie-Anne Coninsx also provided insights on Arctic governance and how the EU can deal with climate change and the "Arctic Paradox" it causes.

One year ago, Russia launched its illegal invasion of Ukraine. As their forces continue to relentlessly attack the country, Russian officials keep spreading blatant lies and disinformation about their brutal war against a peaceful country. Russia claimed it had no plans to attack Ukraine, and yet it did. Russia claimed it would not target civilians, while many civilians have been killed and wounded, with hospitals, homes, schools and critical infrastructure destroyed across the country. Despite the Kremlin’s continued litany of lies, denials and disinformation, their real intentions are clear for the world to see. As Russia launches new offensives, NATO Allies stand in solidarity with Ukraine and will support Ukraine for as long as it takes. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribeSUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribeSUBSCRIBE to NATO History http://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribeConnect with NATO online:Visit the Official NATO Homepage: http://bit.ly/NATOhomepageReceive NATO updates via email: http://bit.ly/NATOemailsFind NATO on FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/NATOfacebookFollow @NATO on TWITTER: http://bit.ly/NATOtwitterFollow NATO on Instagram: http://bit.ly/NATOinstagramFind NATO on LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/NATOlinkedinFind NATO on Flickr: http://bit.ly/NATOflickr Outline background image: Natasha Sinegina at Creazilla#NATO #OTAN #Ukraine #Russia

If Ukraine falls, the consequences will haunt the world for generations. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine one year ago upended the global economic and political system, and the scale of human rights violations and devastation cannot continue with impunity. It is becoming increasingly clear that Putin won't accept peace, which is why after a year of resistance Ukraine needs more—not less—support. Open Society has supported democracy in Ukraine since its independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Throughout the past year, Open Society has supported Ukraine’s civil society as they have delivered medicine, sheltered displaced families, and documented war crimes even as the bombs kept falling. These people are the future of Ukrainian democracy, and we cannot back down now.

2 Mar 2023
ECFR
Russia’s devastating war against Ukraine on European soil has been raging for one year now. With tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives lost, the country is fighting for its independence and for our security. The war has fundamentally changed the way Europe sees itself, and the way others see Europe. It has put in doubt long-held beliefs about the composition and power dynamics within the global order, shattered illusions about Russia, and revised the axioms of energy policy for years to come. In times of great uncertainty, the only certainty is that there is no going back to the status quo ante. Going forward, several questions remain: How strong is the West’s resolve in a war that is essentially directed against its values and stability? Are we in a position to assist Ukraine in achieving victory, and what would such a victory entail? How will the dispute over the war shape relations within the Union and vis-á-vis the rest of the world?

Ukraine: Media freedom, disinformation and the effectiveness of calls for redress (ENGLISH VERSION)
1 Mar 2023
ForeignPolicyCentre
February 2023 marks a bleak anniversary, a year since the Russian invasion into Ukraine. With no end in sight for the ongoing war, many are reflecting on the past 12 months and what further support is needed for Ukrainians as they continue their fight for freedom. This webinar, organised by the Justice for Journalists Foundation and the Foreign Policy Centre, focuses on a crucial part of any crisis – how it is reported and how information about it can be utilised to serve different ends. Journalists on the ground in Ukraine have faced many challenges to continue reporting. Since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine at least 47 journalists and media workers have been killed, eight while carrying out professional duties. While Russian disinformation, an issue long before recent events, has played a huge role both to garner support domestically and to externally influence the policies of Western countries, the war has placed even greater importance on the role of independent media. There is a clear need for accurate and verifiable information, as well as stronger efforts to counter disinformation and channels that propagate it. Nevertheless, the strategic use of communication by Ukrainians, not least by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been a notable feature over the last year to not only effectively convey their experiences, build support for military and other aid, but also seek redress for the crimes committed by Russia. Over the past couple of months in particular, Ukrainian politicians and civil society representatives have been seeking international support to create a Special Tribunal for the Crimes of Russian Aggression against Ukraine. It has been raised repeatedly by Zelenskyy, most recently during his speech in Westminster Hall on 8 February 2023, and has already been endorsed by 40 UK MPs from across the political parties. It has also been backed by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the former NATO Secretary General George Robertson, and the former Foreign Secretary David Owen. This special tribunal would also examine violations against the media brought during the conflict. Many in the UK will also be looking ahead to the Ukraine Recovery Conference to take place in London in June 2023. This event is a continuation of a series of annual conferences dedicated to Ukraine’s transformation, the first of which took place in London in 2017 as the Ukraine Reform Conference. This year’s conference will focus on the mobilisation of international and private sector support for the economic and social stabilisation of Ukraine. Alongside providing insights on the ongoing situation, our speakers will also give a view as to what the international community should be doing to support Ukraine; specifically, what the UK could do to further support the media in Ukraine now as well as future redress for crimes against them.

Politique étrangère - Numéro de printemps 1/2023 (à paraître le 7 mars). Outre-Atlantique, les dernières élections de mi-mandat ont marqué un échec de Trump, mais le trumpisme reste bien vivace. Il déterminera largement la posture du Parti républicain pour les prochaines présidentielles et il est part intégrante du débat de politique étrangère ouvert par la fin de l’unipolarité américaine. Les États-Unis doivent-ils imposer sans apprêt leur puissance ? Doivent-ils se voir comme leader mondial de l’ordre démocratique ? Ou ne s’occuper du monde que quand son désordre les menace ? Ce débat de Grande Stratégie n’est pas tranché. Un an après l’agression russe, la guerre exprime et remodèle les sociétés. Du côté ukrainien : le choix d’une affirmation nationale de plus en plus unitaire, d’un fonctionnement démocratique, d’une ouverture vers un Ouest que symbolisent l’Union européenne et l’OTAN semble de plus en plus large. Du côté russe, la régression est tout aussi claire : répression politique, autoritarisme, retour à une défense paranoïaque appuyée sur des valeurs religieuses et rétrogrades, etc. Les nations se battent et les sociétés s’éloignent l’une de l’autre… La guerre d’Ukraine dévoile progressivement ses multiples conséquences : sur l’Allemagne, symbole des repositionnements stratégiques nécessaires ; sur l’impossible paix entre Arménie et Azerbaïdjan ; plus largement encore sur les problèmes de sécurité alimentaire. Les difficultés d’exportation via la mer Noire nous rappellent que la faim progresse dans le monde, et spécialement en Afrique, depuis 2019. Un phénomène dramatique et nouveau, après six décennies de recul. https://www.ifri.org/fr/publications/politique-etrangere/sommaires-de-politique-etrangere/etats-unis-lempire-incertain

One year on, continued support to Ukraine has never been more important.  Solar power can be deployed quickly and can help support Ukraine to become energy independent in their hours of need. BSW - Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V., Solar Energy Association of Ukraine and SolarPower Europe have launched a fundraising campaign, #SolarSupportsUkraine to finance the installation of solar on schools and hospitals, as well as solar off-grid trailers and solar power banks. Every donation you are making counts towards helping the people of Ukraine.
