	The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Future of the World	Mon, 26.06.2023	Panels and Discussions	Ivan Krastev Timothy Snyder Misha Glenny	The Russo-Ukrainian War and the Future of the World Mon, 26.06.2023 Speakers: Ivan Krastev Timothy Snyder Misha Glenny Series: Panels and Discussions The Russo-Ukrainian War recalls all of the half-forgotten precedents and warnings from the past. Yet, in a profound sense, it is a war for and about the future of democracy. It is also about sustainable energy, the distribution of natural resources, and the possibility of truth in an age of digital propaganda. The war raises the need for ethical judgement at a time when it might appear that the major questions are all technical. We invite you to a discussion between two thinkers who bring together an expertise in the region with a concern for the broadest possible questions of international order and justice. Read more
