Indo-Pacific Policy Dialogue (In-Person Tokyo)
Ambassador Sergiy Korsunsky (Ukraine)

The Invasion of Ukraine and its implications in the Indo-Pacific and beyond 24th February 2023 at 18:30-20:00 (Tokyo)

On February 24th, 2022, the sovereign state of Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Ukraine, with support from Western partners, continues to fight for its freedom and the preservation of the Post-WW II rules-based order that has brought peace, development and stability. The use of force to change borders and enforce a sphere of influence in Europe has transformed the European security landscape but it also has had implications for the Indo-Pacific region.
 

In order to better understand the invasion of Ukraine and its implications for the Indo-Pacific and beyond, this Indo-Pacific Policy Dialogue in-person event is co-sponsored by JICUF and Ritsumeikan Asia-Pacific University (APU) to invite Sergiy Korsunsky, Ukrainian Ambassador to Japan to share his views. Participants will gain a better understanding of the invasion of Ukraine and its implications for the Indo-Pacific and beyond. The discussion will be moderated by Dr.Stephen NAGY, YCAP's Director of Policy Studies. Closing remarks will be addressed by Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University(APU) co-host representative.
