Russia-Ukraine Dialogues: Non-aligned Perspectives
In the midst of the G20 Bali summit, LSE IDEAS’ Russia-Ukraine Dialogues will discuss the views of three key non-aligned states, namely Indonesia, India and Turkey. Speakers will explore the following with regards to each state: political and economic strategies and responses to the Russia-Ukraine war; foreign policy strategies; successes and failures of the transatlantic alliance (NATO) to unite the world against the Kremlin.

This event is part of the Russia-Ukraine Dialogues series. Given the recent escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war (24 February 2022), the conflict continues to be fluid and requires cross-disciplinary analysis. Weekly panels on Tuesdays bring together in-house and external experts to report on and discuss the war’s impacts on various global issues.
From the 1st of November 2022, the LSE IDEAS Russia-Ukraine Dialogues is part-funded by PeaceRep (the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform), an international research project rethinking peace and transition processes in light of changing conflict dynamics led by the University of Edinburgh Law School.
