“The list of violations is quite long. Based on these presumptions, the question about a trial due to Russia’s act of aggression isn’t about the if but more about the how. How shall the initiators and allies of this war be held accountable? “
Our offline and one of the online events will cover the topic of humanitarian consequences of the war. Even though the name of the topic screams for stories that are hard to digest, we don’t want to dwell on individual cruelties but aim for a coarser context.
Learn more about the international law during the war and the difficulty of persecuting war crimes in Katharina’s article:
It is impossible to say exactly how the discussion will proceed offline or online, it depends entirely on the participants and the direction they want to take the topic. We can only give the rough structure of the event and formulate a few questions that describe our topic a little better.
The discussion about the humanitarian consequences of the war will take around 1,5h. We will introduce the topic at the beginning with some example cases on a small level and want to lead the discussion to a bigger and more general ground. Afterward, we’ll try to come up together with a summary and some ideas for a better future.
The input of the discussion will be selected and in a summarized way sent to the EU Parliament. Your voice won’t be overheard!
Some questions about the topic could be:
What can we do to prevent those events in the future?
How can we stop this kind of atrocities?
What is the role of Europe?
Now Ukraine is fighting not only for its independence but for European values as well. This country is proving to be a part of European society with a lot of civic engagement in promoting cohesion of Ukraine and Europe on all levels and is on its way to being a part of the EU officially.
The relationship between the EU and Ukraine started very long ago, but only in 2005 the European Parliament almost unanimously adopted a resolution on the intentions of the European Parliament to converge positions with Ukraine on membership. On 27 February 2014, the European Parliament adopted a resolution recognizing Ukraine’s right to apply for membership in the Union. Due to the outbreak of the full-scale war the procedure of Ukraine becoming a member of the EU is now accelerated.
On the 19th of April Ukraine sent the European Commission the first part of the questionnaire for joining the European Union, which was a 43-page document from the EU with 374 questions and 1,156 pages of answers provided by Ukraine. It was completed in the shortest possible time – in 10 days. Ahead is now the second part of the questionnaire, which is more than 280 pages.
On June 17 European Commission recommended Ukraine be granted EU candidate status holding the right to withdraw this status of Ukraine will not complete certain list of reforms. The next step is all EU leaders to sign off on the recommendation at a summit on June 23-24.

“With the project, I want to experience perspectives on European values and the cohesion between Europe and Ukraine. I want to support the Ukrainian community as best I can and I’m already excited to exchange ideas with inspiring people in person.”
“I am eager to create a safe space for people to share their thoughts on our topics in the context of war. For me, it is important to bring the topic of environmental sustainability for a discussion.”
“I see this project as a great opportunity to create awareness regarding some non-obvious but still relevant topics and to help our Ukrainian society recover from this war.”
“My wishes for the project are to create an exchange and learn about language and culture. With the ongoing war, it is all the more important to give the possibility to understand and ask.”
