International legal, political, historical, cultural scientific analysis of the war in Ukraine

The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and the gruesome images of this bloody war of aggression continue to circulate around the world. In a discussion panel with participants from various disciplines at the University of Freiburg, an attempt will be made to subject the Russian attack on Ukraine to interdisciplinary analysis. The discussion panel will take place on April 26, 2022 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Paulussaal and will also be made available via livestream for the general public.

The panelists will include:

• Univ.-Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Cheauré, University of Freiburg, Department of Slavic Studies
• Prof. Dr. Jan Eckel, University of Freiburg, Department of History
• Prof. Dr. Lauri Mälksoo, University of Tartu, Institute of Constitutional and International Law
• Prof. Dr. Carlo Masala, Universität der Bundeswehr München (University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich), Department of Political Science
• Prof. Dr. Paulina Starski, University of Freiburg, Institute of Public Law - Dept. 1 (European and International Law)
• Prof. Dr. Silja Vöneky, University of Freiburg, Institute of Public Law - Dept. 2 (International Law, Comparative Law and Legal Ethics)

Prof. Dr. Carlo Masala is an expert on international politics from the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich. Jan Eckel, Professor of Modern History and Contemporary History, and Elisabeth Cheauré, Professor of Slavic Philology (Literary Studies) and Gender Studies, will contribute historical and cultural studies classifications. Prof. Dr. Lauri Mälksoo, international law scholar at the University of Tartu, will complement the international law assessment of the invasion by Prof. Dr. Silja Vöneky and Prof. Dr. Paulina Starski with the Russian perspective on international law, which he has studied intensively.

The aim of the event is in particular to provide students and researchers of the University with a forum for questions and discussion on the war in Ukraine. In order to make this possible for as many participants as possible, students will have the opportunity to ask questions to the panelists via the ILIAS platform.

Representatives of the press are cordially invited to participate on site or via live broadcast.
