11th year of war – Ukraine: Now more than ever

As the ten-year mark of the Russo-Ukrainian war passes and Ukraine endures more than two years since Russia's full-scale invasion, the struggle for independence and survival persists among the Ukrainian people. The Norwegian Helsinki Committee extends an invitation to a conference on Ukraine, addressing important aspects of the current situation.

Key Questions:

  • What are the main challenges for Ukraine, Norway, and the International Community at present?
  • What are the potential solutions?
