Almedalen 2024 marks nearly 900 days since Russia launched its unprovoked, unjustified, all-out assault on the free people of Ukraine. In the nearly 900 days that have passed, we have witnessed the unbreakable spirit and determination of the Ukrainian people. 

But Ukraine’s fight is part of something much bigger than itself. With Russia’s full-scale invasion in its third year, this panel discussion will look at the central role Ukrainian victory and liberation of all occupied territories have in ensuring peace, security, and freedom for Ukraine, Europe, and the international community. At this critical time, join us at the American Garden to #StandWithUkraine and its future as an independent, democratic European country free to choose its path into the EU and NATO.
