Together with most of the world, the Czech Centre strongly condemns the Russian attack on Ukraine. Although one can find similarities with the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, the full-scale military attack on Ukraine is unprecedented and absolutely unjustifiable under any circumstances. Join us to discuss the impact and possible detrimental outcomes of the war in Ukraine with leading experts on Eastern Europe and Russia, to better comprehend the roots and causes of the Russian aggression as well as to explore our options of support and solidarity with Ukraine and its citizens.
The entry to this event is free, but please consider a donation to one of the charities listed on the Ukrainian Institute London’s website
