Russia-Ukraine Dialogues: The war’s intimate connection to Belarus
February 7, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
The fate of Ukraine and Belarus are intimately connected to one another. As argued by the leader of free Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, freedom and democracy in Belarus and Ukraine cannot be separated from one another. Moreover, Belarus has already played an important role in providing a launchpad for Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Yet, Belarus’s involvement in Ukraine could escalate further.
This week’s panel will discuss:
- Linking Belarus and Ukraine’s struggle for freedom
- Alyaksandr Lukashenka military support for Russia
- and Future scenarios
Panelists:
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Leader of Belarusian democratic movement
LTG (Ret.) Mark Hertling, Former Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe
Katia Glod, Russia-West Policy Fellow, European Leadership Network
Chair:
Dr Leon Hartwell, Sotirov Fellow, LSE IDEAS
This event is part of the Russia-Ukraine Dialogues series. Given the recent escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war (24 February 2022), the conflict continues to be fluid and requires cross-disciplinary analysis. Weekly panels on Tuesdays bring together in-house and external experts to report on and discuss the war’s impacts on various global issues.
From the 1st of November 2022, the LSE IDEAS Russia-Ukraine Dialogues is part-funded by PeaceRep (the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform), an international research project rethinking peace and transition processes in light of changing conflict dynamics led by the University of Edinburgh Law School.
