Ukraine: Russian mass-subversion of Ukrainian territories
Watch the recording of the seminar here
Strategies and policies are being implemented by the Russian occupation power to change the composition, both physically and mentally, of the temporarily occupied territories in Ukraine. This is done in a broad and comprehensive fashion, where no issue seems too small to address and to forcibly change.
This seminar offers a discussion of some of these aspects of the Russian attempt to cement control over these territories and of the Ukrainian opposition to this, nationally, regionally and locally.
Please note that this event forms part of a series of events on Ukraine hosted by DIIS on Thursday 13 June and Friday 14 June 2024.
