SUMMARY:Stanford University hosts Estonian Ambassador Kristjan Prikk for a talk on "Russia's War in Ukraine and its Implications on European Security: Why should America care?"
DESCRIPTION:Can´t make it to California? Watch the live stream of this important discussion hosted by Stanford University. \n\n\n\nMore than ten years into Russia’s war against Ukraine and more than two years after Moscow launched a full-scale aggression\, there is still no end in sight to the largest military conflict in Europe after WWII. What are the implications of this war on the security of Europe but also on the United States? What would it take to end the war and in what kind of a world will we all live on the day after it’s all over? The event will feature a discussion on the possibility of a viable Western strategy for success that not only saves Ukraine but also strengthens the United States’ role as the leader of the free world. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks will be delivered by Amir Weiner\, Associate Professor of History and Director of Stanford’s Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies. \n\n\n\nDetails: events.stanford.edu/event/russias-war-in-ukraine \n\n\n\n\nGo to live stream\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstonia’s Ambassador to the U.S. Kristjan Prikk started his mission in Washington\, D.C. in May 2021.
