Ukraine Dialogue

 

Each year, Manor College is proud to host two Ukraine Dialogue speakers series programs where members of the Manor campus, Ukrainian, Ukrainian-American, and American communities join together to discuss critical political, religious, humanitarian, and other social issues that face Ukraine. The dialogues are in-person and virtual, engaging, purposeful, and compassionate regarding Ukraine and its people.

Diplomacy in War: Roles and Functions of an Ambassador

Our “Ukraine Dialogue – Diplomacy in War: Roles and Functions of an Ambassador” program features two ambassadors and a retired colonel who have all been intimately involved in various aspects of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war against Ukraine. From humanitarian efforts to strategic, these featured panelists have had to lead and manage through the greatest crisis of all, the loss and injury to human life at a large scale, and the protection of a homeland that not only needs preservation due to international norms on self governance and self defense, but because of its representative and symbolic purposes as a westernized democracy on the edge of eastern Europe and abutting a tyrannical, power thirsty neighbor.
