Georgetown Institute Highlights Stakes for U.S. if Support for Ukraine Falters Amidst Escalating Russian Attacks
The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) recently convened a virtual discussion on the critical implications for Ukraine, Europe, and the United States if U.S. support for Ukraine diminishes. The conversation occurred amidst trilateral talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in Abu Dhabi, even as Russia escalated its attacks on Ukrainian civilians, schools, and energy infrastructure. Speakers, including former US Ambassador to Ukraine William B. Taylor and Ukrainian Member of Parliament Iryna Nykorak, underscored the vital importance of sustained bipartisan support for Ukraine in the U.S. Congress. They argued that Ukraine's survival as a free and democratic nation is crucial for protecting global democratic principles and advancing the national security interests of the United States and its allies.
