Watch our online discussion on possible solutions for the conflict in Ukraine.


 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February constitutes one of the most violent aggressions in Europe since the 1940s. It has been condemned by large parts of the international community and resulted in significant policy shifts in Germany and other European countries. Negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian governments have so far remained without tangible results.

To support the people in Ukraine and to find peaceful solutions, it is vital to identify entry points for conflict transformation.

At this event, we aim to gain a better understanding of how peacebuilding approaches can contribute to an improvement of the current situation. How can conflict transformation contribute to de-escalation and how should peacebuilders respond to the rapidly increasing militarisation? What are the options for a peaceful settlement and what are their implications for Ukraine, Europe and the world? How should peacebuilding actors approach work in Ukraine in the short, medium and long term? These are just a few questions that peacebuilders should keep in mind in their response to the war in Ukraine. At our event, we aim to deepen the discussion on these important issues.
