Can We Talk about The War in Ukraine and Give It Broader Context?

We believe there is a way to explain horrific things without justifying them

We invite you to watch a webinar that is not as controversial as one might think - when explained well and without space for misinterpretations.

It's an interview with CODEPINK Co-founder Medea Benjamin and Nicolas Davies, journalist and author, on their new book on the war in Ukraine.

There are many comments already being made about this book that is coming out this November. There are many accusations of statements that were never made, assumptions of claims that imply the opposite, and lots of controversy in general.

So please join us for a talk where they present and discuss their new book, War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict.

Kicking off a book tour throughout the United States, Medea and Nicolas share their insights on events that led up to Russia’s brutal invasion, the risks of escalation, and opportunities for peace.

Learn about the 2014 coup that set the stage for the current crisis, the success and failure of the 2015 MINSK II Peace Accord, the dangerous role of the neo-Nazi Azov Batallion and opportunities to avert a protracted war or worse–a nuclear war.

So let Medea and Nicolas clarify everything for you here. Enjoy a webinar that is informative, insightful, and compassionate.
