The latest phase of the war in Ukraine is now in its eighteenth month. The long-signalled Ukrainian counteroffensive is underway, against heavily fortified Russian lines on Ukrainian territory. Russia has faced a mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group which itself has played a significant role in Russia’s attacks on Ukraine. Away from the battlefield, Ukraine has appealed for fast-tracked NATO membership at the conclusion of the war, and continues to seek new weapon systems from its allies.

At this pivotal time, please join us for a discussion of the latest developments in the war in Ukraine with noted commentator and military strategist, Mick Ryan. Mick has retired from the Australian Army where he served as a Major-General.

16 August, 1 PM NZT
