Monitor Luftkrieg Ukraine Vol. VIII - Kyiv Dialogue | Kyjiwer Gespräche

Matthias Meier @mmeier.bsky.social · Sep 13

It‘s crazy US legislation would allow any military action without a posed threat to US security. „Our president wants Greenland“ can hardly be sufficient justification.

3/ Our goal is to provide information about the (air) defence needs of Ukraine more closely with the actual needs and developments on the ground. We also look into current debates such as dependence on the US in weapon systems and the latest European efforts to improve its air defence capabilites.

As US terminates Ukraine military aid and "peace talks" make headlines, Russia’s aggression persists. What are the risks of reduced European support for Ukraine? What role must Germany play in securing Europe?

Join the discussion at #CafeKyiv on 11 March in Berlin!
