Description
**This event will be held in Ukrainian.**
Euromaidan revolution, economic and financial crisis, annexation of the Crimea, Russian-supported violent separatism, Western sanctions, a shot-down Malaysian airliner, a new Cold War, rejuvenated NATO and higher defense spending, Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threat to the West: decades of history have been condensed into a few months since November of last year and continue to unfold before our eyes each day with the crisis in Ukraine. Despite globalisation, the Internet, social media, and 24-hour news, our sources continue to be skewed by conflicting information coming from capital cities. Ukraine is a regionally diverse country and, to fully understand it, we need to look beyond Kyiv.
Valerii Padiak–an academic professor, publisher, and local activist– is well qualified to present to us the view from Transcarpathia, a region that both borders Europe and is situated on the opposite side of the country from the violence raging in the Donbas.
