The war in Ukraine was the dominant theme of this year’s Munich Security Conference which both Christoph von Marschall and Jackson Janes attended last month. Many efforts to find resolutions were proposed but many questions about how to implement them remained. While the United States remains the pivotal source of support behind Ukraine’s struggle to defend itself against the Russian invasion, in the long run, Europe will have to show its capacity to help defend not only Ukraine but also itself. Germany’s role will also be pivotal. In both countries, sustaining public support will be imperative.
How long will this war last? How will it impact not only European security but global stability? And when and how will this war end? Jackson Janes and Christoph von Marschall discuss the challenges and choices ahead in 2023 for both Germany and the United States.
Wednesday, March 15 – 13.00 PM EDT | 18.00 MEZ | 10.00 PDT
