The EuroPolicy civic association, EURACTIV Slovakia and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Bratislava cordially invite you to an online discussion titled Who counts weapons in Ukraine?, which will be held on 6 November 2023 from 10:00 to 11:30 CET. Discussion will be held via Zoom in English only.
About the event
The West, and especially NATO member countries, realize that if Ukraine does not defend itself after Russian aggression, not only will the "threat" in the form of Russia move even closer to the eastern border of the Alliance, but it will also redraw the spheres of power in the world. Armament, military training, and supplies of ammunition and other equipment are therefore an investment in Ukrainian security as well as in the security of the Alliance.
The Pentagon says the Ukraine supply mission is the largest authorized transfer of arms in history from the U.S. military to a foreign nation. And the EU has profoundly transformed its approach to financing anything related to military, partially as a response to the activities of the U.S.
- How difficult is it to transfer Western military material to Ukraine? How is it coordinated?
- Who in the Alliance makes sure that military equipment does not end up in the wrong hands?
- Are there applicable options for appropriate arms control in the war in Ukraine? And will Ukraine remain the most militarized country in the world if it endures the war?
Speakers
- Martin Oltman, Defence Advisor, Permanent Mission of the Slovak Republic to the UN, OSCE and other International Organizations in Vienna
- Rüdiger Heinrich, Defense Attaché of the Federal Republic of Germany accredited in the Slovak Republic
- Jen Spindel, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of New Hampshire
Moderator
- Lucia Yar, Acting Editor-in-Chief, EURACTIV Slovakia
