As Ukrainians continue to fight for their very lives and the right to determine their own future, the impact of Russia’s invasion will undoubtedly be felt for generations. With no end to Russia’s hostilities in sight, and Ukraine’s future uncertain, the U.S. and its allies must continue to provide material and financial support, pursue strategies that recognize Ukraine’s challenges, and help Ukraine chart a realistic post-conflict vision. Join us at 2:00 pm ET on Monday, May 16, as we host a conversation with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) on the United States’ continued support for Ukraine and the implications of Russia’s war in Ukraine for European security and stability.
