Every Thursday morning, DGAP’s Research Institute brings together experts and high-level guests to discuss the latest developments in foreign affairs. This week, we will look at the recent Kursk incursion and its implications for Ukraine’s path forward – both militarily and politically. Russia has vowed revenge for the first invasion of Russian territory since the Second World War and is threatening to expand its war of aggression against Ukraine on multiple fronts. Together with our speakers, we will discuss President Zelensky’s strategy after Ukraine’s surprise attack and ahead of the US presidential election this November.
