Crimea After Five Years of Russian Occupation
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 28/03/2019

In the five years since its invasion and attempted annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, Russia has continued violating the norms and standards of the international order in Ukraine’s Donbas and the Sea of Azov. Join the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Ukrainian Embassy and the Atlantic Council for a discussion on the illegal Russian occupation of Ukraine’s Crimea. A distinguished set of panelists will go beyond the current nonrecognition policies and delve into scenarios that could create the conditions necessary to reunify the Crimean Peninsula, deter further Russian aggression and move past the dangers of the status quo.
