4.9/5 (9338 ratings)

Description:The invasion of Ukraine by Putin’s Russia on 24 February 2022 showed that the civic revolutions of 1989–1991 had not yet achieved their ultimate goal – the establishment of a peaceful European order based on the cooperation of democratic, independent nations of Central and Eastern Europe. By attacking Ukraine and showing support for the bloody suppression of the Belarusian revolution, President Putin is violently opposing democratic movements in order to expand the influence of the authoritarian Russian imperialism. The war in Ukraine drew the attention of Western public opinion to the fate of Eastern Europe. Most Europeans are starting to realise that the future of the democratic community is also being decided in the east of the continent. The Russian dictator is waging war against the entire Ukrainian population precisely because they have stood up for democracy, universal human rights, the ideals of NATO and the European Union. In retrospect, it can be said that the words of the Lviv-based journalist and parliamentarian Mykola Kniazhytskyi were prophetic. On 1 September 2021, Kniazhytskyi argued at the European Solidarity Centre that: “Moscow’s goal is the destruction of the Ukrainian state,the subjugation of Belarus and the Baltic states, the dismantling of the European Union and NATO and the establishment in its place of a new union of powers with their respective spheres of influence and a dominant role of Russia”. Mykola Kniazhytskyi was one of the guests at 2021 Forum EUROPE WITH A VIEW TO THE FUTURE. For 13 years now, Gdańsk has been a meeting place of politicians, analysts, diplomats, scholars, writers, civic activists, artists and journalists to reflect on the challenges that contemporary Europe is facing. Our aim has been to combine local perspectives and competences with global ones, as we believe that a comprehensive debate on Europe is only possible by bringing together different perspectives. This year’s publication summarising the Forum EUROPE WITH A VIEW TO THE FUTURE is dedicated to all those who are fighting to defend our common European values, to those who are fighting in Ukraine defending freedom, sovereignty and the fundamental right of self-determination vested in all nations, and to those who are dying in the cruel war waged by Putin’s Russia and those who are facing political persecution in Belarus. After the peaceful revolutions of 1989–1991, a new European order emerged, reflected not only in Ukraine and the Baltic States regaining independence and the sovereignty of the Central European states, as demonstrated by their accession to NATO and the European Union, but also by the reunification of Germany. We will not allow the opponents of pluralism and democracy in the Kremlin and in Minsk to destroy the political project of a Europe of free citizens.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
