The Russian aggression against Ukraine in February 2022 shook the world and has caused immense suffering and destruction in the invaded country. Aggravating the damage caused since the invasion of 2014, adding to the pre-existing economic problems, pandemic socio-economic damages, the war drags on and with it grows the scope of destruction of human life, livelihoods, and future prospects. How does Ukraine link building an economy to secure victory in the war with long-term goal of sustainable development and strengthening the resiliency of its democracy? How can its EU candidate status be leveraged by Ukrainian opponents of neoliberal frameworks and policies? The economic reform and their nature and the role of the EU do and will play a crucial role in determining the shape of Ukraine to come. As the London Ukraine Recovery conference is upon us, we will discuss Ukraine’s losses, prospects, proposals on the table and those that are lacking. Whither Ukraine and/in Europe? Our roundtable will aim to deliver some crucial answers and set out trajectories for the future.
Participants/speakers/chairs: László Andor, Edward Knudsen, Luke Cooper, Bohdan Ferens, Vlad Mykhnenko, Tasha Lomonosova, Yuliya Yurchenko
