US-Ukraine Security Dialogue XV

Taking Measure of Ukraine’s Defense Capabilities & Needs After a Year of War

Event

US-Ukraine Security Dialogue XV: Taking Measure of Ukraine’s Defense Capabilities & Needs After a Year of War was held at the National Press Club in Washington DC on February 28, 2023.

The event featured six-panel discussions and three highlight focus sessions. The panel discussions were dedicated to examining Ukraine’s ability to properly engage in war along classical security dimensions: land (regular/territorial); sea/maritime defense; air/air defense; cyber warfare/information warfare as well as it’s capacity to adequately maintain its infrastructure assets (whether military or civilian) and energy resources.

The highlight focus sessions gave prominence to considering, as tradition would have it (and as present circumstances clearly would recommend it), why Ukraine’s security matters enough to its neighbors and the world at large to merit serious military assistance in time of need.
