Germany and the question of Ukraine's statehood from Brest-Litovsk (1918) to the present day

• Language: German
• Speaker: Prof. Dr. Guido Hausmann (IOS Regensburg, University of Regensburg, “Thinking Space Ukraine”)

This lecture is part of the lecture series “War. Peace. Security” organized by Prof. Dr. Cindy Wittke (IOS Regensburg) with Dr. Paul Vickers (Leibniz Science Campus) and Prof. Dr. Ulf Brunnbauer (IOS Regensburg). The lecture will be held in German.

About the lecture:

The question of Ukraine's statehood has been closely linked to Germany and German politics from the First World War until today. Knowledge of this is more widespread in Ukrainian society than in German society. The lecture discusses different stages of this process (1918, 1939, 1941) and relates them to current questions about Germany's role in the Russia-Ukraine war.
