Russia’s full-scale war has caused much death and destruction in Ukraine. But as the war continues and our attention is drawn to domestic concerns, are we becoming immune to the images of war?
Join Olga Tokariuk, an independent journalist and non-resident fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, in conversation with Olesya Khromeychuk to consider how ‘Ukraine fatigue’ affects support for Ukraine globally and how it can be overcome in order to preserve solidarity and unity in the democratic world.
We’re delighted to hold this event in partnership with the European Parliament Liaison Office in the United Kingdom, against the backdrop of Ukraine receiving the EU Parliament’s 2022 Sakharov Prize.
