Launch of Westminster Alliance for Ukraine
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 | House of Commons and Online | 2PM BST
On 13 May, policymakers, security experts, civil society leaders, and journalists from across Europe will gather in Westminster, for a landmark event entitled:
Towards an Effective European Defence Strategy for Ukraine: Making the Coalition of the Willing a Reality
The event is organised within the framework of the Westminster Alliance for Ukraine, a programme conducted by the Defending Democracy Global (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)initiative.
This timely gathering aims to foster concrete recommendations and collaborative action to support Ukraine’s defence and democratic future.
We will focus on strengthening European defence capabilities, advancing peacekeeping frameworks, and countering disinformation and hybrid threats in response to Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine.
The event will feature keynote addresses and expert panel discussions under the following core themes:
Building a European peacekeeping force and sovereign defence capability
Establishing a European Defence Bank and integrated procurement systems
Strategies for countering disinformation and hybrid warfare
Strengthening democratic resilience across the continent
The conference will be live-streamed on the YouTube (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) and Facebook channels (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)of CIVIL – Center for Freedom.
The Defending Democracy Global Initiative was launched at an international conference (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) in Skopje, North Macedonia, in December 2024 during Human Rights Week with the support of the Government of North Rhein Westphalia.
