"Inside Ukraine: The Russian War"

Ambassador William Taylor

Wednesday, October 28th, 2026

We are approaching the 5^th anniversary of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainians are holding on the battlefield and are severely damaging Russian military capabilities, but the Ukrainians cannot defend against Russian ballistic missiles that are inflicting grave damage to Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Drawing on his extensive experience in Ukraine including his most recent visit in September, Ambassador Taylor will discuss the status of negotiations and prospects for ending the war.
