Op dit moment staan vooral geopolitieke en militaire duidingen van de oorlog in Oekraïne op de voorgrond, maar tijdens deze middag ligt de focus op culturele, historische en taalkundige achtergronden van deze crisissituatie.

The current conflict in Ukraine has created the most severe crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. Ukraine’s fate hangs in the balance.
