📌 We cordially invite you to an in-depth conversation with Maksym Butkevych, one of Ukraine’s most prominent human rights defenders, on justice, human rights, and the future of Ukraine and Europe.Maksym Butkevych will share his experience of spending more than two years in Russian captivity, where he was subjected to a fabricated trial and unjust imprisonment. He will also provide insight into statements made by his Russian captors, who asserted that Russia’s aggression would not stop with Ukraine but extend to other European countries. This discussion will also address the situation of illegally detained civilians and Ukrainian prisoners of war, highlighting why their fate is not only a Ukrainian concern but a broader international issue. Furthermore, we will explore the current state of human rights in Ukraine.
📕We will also discuss the book "Am richtigen Platz: Ein ukrainischer Friedensaktivist im Krieg" (2024, Anthea Verlag), which contains texts by Maksym Butkevych. The book will be available for purchase at the event.
The discussion will take place on Wednesday, 5 March, from 18:00 to 19:30 at Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (Leibniz-Saal), Markgrafenstraße 38, 10117 Berlin. A reception will follow.
🎤 The discussion will be moderated by Oleksandra Bienert (Head of the Board, Alliance of Ukrainian Organizations) and will be held in English.
