What are their strategies, and are they successful? Then, we\u2019ll talk about the so-called peace negotiations of the past year. Will Ukraine (have to) accept a dictated peace deal? Where do things stand, and what options are available? How are other actors, such as the U.S., the E.U. and China, positioning themselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lecture will be complemented with maps and visuals. An extensive Q&amp;A session will follow.
