Together Alone? Ukraine Policy in a New Phase of Atlanticism
2nd Transatlantic Ukraine Seminar
10.12.2025 - 12.12.2025
Thema
It is currently difficult to predict how Russian aggression towards Ukraine and diplomatic efforts to achieve a ceasefire will evolve over the next few months. However, amid growing transatlantic estrangement, it is clear that Europe will need to increase its support for Kyiv and reinforce its security. What steps need to be taken now?
This conference follows the Chatham House Rule. It is a joint project of the German-Ukraine Bureau (DUB) and the Protestant Academy Loccum. The working language will be English. German-English interpretation will be provided, on request.

This conference aims to bring together leading experts and analysts on Ukraine for a frank and professional discussion to summarize the interim results of the conflict and predict possible scenarios for the development and end of Russian aggression against Ukraine. We will address key questions such as What is the balance of power as Ukraine and Russia enter the new year? How long will the Russian-Ukrainian war last and what are the possible scenarios for its end? What can Germany do to help end the war and establish a lasting peace? What is the role of Ukrainian civil society inside and outside Ukraine in bringing victory closer? How can fatigue and the loss of a sense of urgency be avoided in a war that has changed life in Europe forever?
