Photos from the conference on the war in Ukraine
One year after the Russian invasion of Ukraine - how it has changed Europe and how the war could end.
On Thursday, 23 February, 2023, Centre for European Politics, in collaboration with the European Commission, the Danish Foreign Policy Society, and Centre for Military Studies, hosted a conference where the consequences of Russia's war in Ukraine were debated. It was a beautiful and educational afternoon with good points from both national and international speakers in a packed auditorium at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen.
Thank you to the speakers and attendees.
We bring here a selection of pictures taken on the day.
