While no progress is being made regarding the conflict resolution in eastern Ukraine, and threats of a new military escalation have increased in recent weeks, the fundamental issues of this conflict remain especially for civilians living on both sides of the “contact line”. Civil society actors continue to mobilize, local residents create new initiatives to face challenges, in a context where contacts are even more restricted with the Covid-19 pandemic. Not to mention the possible consequences of new legislation.

The European Citizen’s Assembly, along with the international platform CivilM+, invites you to a webinar on December 14th from 5pm to 7pm to give voice to civil society actors and experts.
