Four years of Russia's aggression against Ukraine: Lessons for global security

Despite ongoing negotiations led by the Trump administration, the war will soon enter its fifth year, with Russia’s relentless bombing of civilian energy infrastructure across Ukraine, in freezing temperatures, and constant attacks on the Eastern front.

The Ambassador’s talk will focus on how Ukraine has endured the war and why the world should care, and on Canada’s role in supporting Ukraine in a time of Russia’s aggression.

It will take a dynamic Q&A format with the host and the audience.

Andrii Plakhotniuk was appointed Ukraine’s Ambassador to Canada in Fall 2025, succeeding the Hon. Yulia Kovaliv. A member of the Ukrainian diplomatic service for more than 25 years, he was the leading diplomat in the 2015 Minsk Accords, which aimed to find a political solution to the war in Donbas. He later served, between 2021-2015, as Ambassador of Ukraine to Sweden.
