Circus Europe: Ukraine Between War and Peace, Capitulation and Victory
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: June 5, 2025, 18:00 – 20:00
For several years now, Ukraine has been resisting military aggression from totalitarian Russia. Is the Russian-Ukrainian war heading towards a ceasefire, or even a lasting peace? Who will be the victor? Will Russia get away with flagrant violations of international law? Will there be a “peace” that will mean the surrender of Ukraine? How is Europe preparing to contain Russian expansion? What shape is NATO in? How realistic is Ukrainian membership of the EU and NATO? What role does the Czech Republic play in supporting the defence of Ukraine and Europe? How is it contributing to the creation of a “coalition of the willing”? Are we on the threshold of global war, or armed peace? Debate guests include presidential advisor Petr Kolář and Czech Radio’s correspondent in Ukraine, Martin Dorazín. The discussion will be chaired by historian and philosopher Petr Hlaváček.
Circus Europe is a discussion series, prepared by Collegium Europaeum in cooperation with the Václav Havel Library, focused on current issues of the West, Europe and the Czech Republic in broader contexts and perspectives.
