Event
US-UA Working Group Yearly Summit XI: Providing Ukraine with an Annual Report Card Amidst War – Year Two was held on June 14, 2023 at the ever-elegant University Club of Washington DC.
The forum brought together government and key non-government representatives from Ukraine, Canada, the EU and the US to take measure of Ukraine’s 2022-2023 progress/regress in six traditional categories associated with advanced polities: “democratic governance, mature market economics, energy security, general security, social cohesion and an established yet forbearing national identity” in the face of conflict on her soil.
To facilitate the said examination, the event ran six panel discussions, two highlight focus sessions and a tally-master report. In total, more than two dozen speakers were featured.
