We also thank Eva Katharina Deiniger for moderating this important discussion.
The conversation focused on the current state of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, specifically on challenges and possibilities for military and humanitarian assistance, issues concerning the reliance on Russia for European energy needs, as well as the successes and shortfalls of economic sanctions against Russia. During the discussion, the speakers urged the West to increase their military assistance and advocated for an embargo on Russian oil, gas, and coal.
