Online conference on ‘Ukraine and the European Parliament Elections’ on February 24, 2024
On February 24, 2024, two years after Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, the Polish Institute of Public Policies organised an online conference on 'Ukraine and the European Parliament Elections', as part of the European Parliament Elections 2024 Awareness Campaign. The first panel of the meeting dealt with the general situation two years after the outbreak of the war and its political and military aspects. The second panel was devoted to socio-cultural issues related to the situation in Ukraine and EU countries. Dr Marta Pachocka, an expert of Team Europe Direct Poland, coordinator of the Polish team of the Horizon Europe GAPs project at the Centre of Migration Research of the University of Warsaw, and a researcher at SGH Warsaw School of Economics, opened the second panel with her speech. She discussed public sentiment in Poland and the EU towards forced migration from Ukraine from a two-year perspective, referred to the local dimension of action towards migrants fleeing the war on the example of Poland, and highlighted the importance of the European Parliament election results for the direction of the response of the EU and its Member States towards the war and the situation of refugees. A recording of the conference (in Polish) is available on YouTube.
