You are cordially invited to attend the eleventh US-Ukraine Security Dialogue, entitled Taking Measure of Ukraine’s Most Pressing Security Requirements. The forum will be held on Thursday, March 5, 2020 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The full day event will bring together key senior defense officials and authorities from Ukraine and Europe along with leading US defense experts and select members of Congress and representatives of Ukraine's government to discuss a comprehensive set of proposals to counter Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. The gathering will also give prominence to reflections by senior Ukrainian and US government officials aimed at considering why Ukraine’s security matters both to its neighbors and the world at large. In total, over two dozen featured speakers are expected to address the conference.
The complete program (subject to change), along with a list of invited speakers, is included below. You can read more about previous US-Ukraine Security Dialogue sessions below:
