Expert Briefing: Priorities for international support to Ukraine, as Russia’s war rages into its third year

Expert Briefing: Priorities for international support to Ukraine, as Russia’s war rages into its third year In March 2024, the Foreign Policy Centre (FPC), together with the APPG on Ukraine, and with support from the University of Birmingham, convened an off-the-record roundtable meeting in Parliament to discuss the ongoing situation on the ground in Ukraine and, as Russia’s war entered its third. [...] Experts also reflected on the impact of the international community’s response to Russia’s full-scale invasion and explored how this could shift in the future, particularly with US elections looming and engagement with the Global South still often overlooked. [...] The future response of the international community is unclear, but will have implications for Ukraine and globally: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has continued to highlight Europe’s unpreparedness to meet the military, industrial and political challenges created by the conflict. [...] Beyond Europe and the US, the differing approaches of countries in the Global North and Global South toward Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine are said to have been underpinned by a longstanding failure of countries in the Global North to recognise the needs and challenges of the Global South. [...] However, many will not do so until the end of the war is on the horizon and the country is seen as safe.
