UA Quest for Mature Nation Statehood Roundtable XXI: took place on October 21-22 2020 as a ZOOM Webinar.

The conference was the last in a critically important trilogy of UA Quest RT gatherings (2018-20) essentially dedicated to evaluating Ukraine’s military preparedness, particularly in the face of the ongoing occupation of Crimea and ongoing aggression in Donbas by the nation’s northern neighbor.

The primary focus of the event centered on examining the state of readiness of the general personnel in Ukraine’s land, sea and air/air defense forces as well as the capabilities of the senior officers of the said forces.
