Event
Ukraine’s Quest for Mature Nation Statehood Roundtable (XXIV) was held on October 5, 2022 at the University Club, Washington DC under the title: Forging A Strong Yet Forbearing National Identity – Future Initiatives
The gathering was the final event in a critically important trilogy of UA Quest Roundtables (2021-23) essentially dedicated to exploring and evaluating Ukraine’s efforts to establish a distinctive yet broadminded national identity.
It was tasked to ponder Ukraine’s optimal future ‘face to the world’ – with the nation possessing a well-developed self-image, playing a worthy leadership role in the Black Sea region, occupying a valuable place in the Euro-Atlantic community and being a respected presence in global affairs.
The proceedings, in the context of the said exploration, also examined the various DEZINFORM campaigns that have been launched to deform the process, including Putin’s recent ‘Memory Wars’ campaign.
