Join us in Berlin on 18–19 NOV for the 20th Kyiv Dialogue Annual Conference. It's always one of the highlights in the Ukrainian–German civil society event calendar and a great place to reconnect, exchange ideas, and meet new partners. Also, Kyiv Dialogue turns 20 this year. Let's celebrate together!

On Saturday, Munich Airport was once again forced due to drone activity. This follows a month marked by drone attacks on Poland, drones over critical infrastructure, & airspace violations. September marked a new phase in the conflict between Russia & Europe. www.kyiv-dialogue.org/uk/novini/ne...

Join us in Berlin for the summer! We have some things in the pipeline and need passionate support to push them forward! If you or one of your acquaintances could be a good fit, shoot me a message or apply right here: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/news/news...

Join us on Wednesday for a quick one hour briefing on all you need to know about the upcoming presidential elections in Poland. We will look into recent monitoring data, whats going on in online campaigning and what are the challenges to election integrity? See you there!

1/ Hey there, we good some good feedback on the first editions of our "Air War Monitor" so we decided to give an English-language version a go to broaden our audience! www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/news/news...

Vol. 5 just dropped! In der März-Ausgabe analysieren wir die jüngsten Entwicklungen in Russlands Luftkrieg gegen ukrainische Städte und Infrastruktur sowie die europäische Flugabwehr und Abschreckungsfähigkeit. Hier gehts zum Volltext: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/news/news...

🚨🚨 In not totally unsurprising news, the United States has been added to the Civicus Monitor Watchlist, which identifies countries that the global civil rights watchdog believes are currently experiencing a rapid decline in civic freedoms. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Got your seat at Café Kyiv tomorrow? It’s fully booked now, but if you’re in, join us at 12:30 PM in Kino 9 for a vital discussion on Europe’s security. We’ve got an excellent lineup of speakers from Ukraine and Germany—come listen, engage, and be part of the conversation. See you there!

Na, Robert Habeck kann sich immerhin freuen, dass eins seiner zentralen Wahlversprechen - der Deutschlandfonds für Infrastruktur-Investitionen - jetzt von Friedrich Merz umgesetzt wird (der zusätzliche Schulden im Wahlkampf noch für unnötig hielt).

Very recommended to join this event from @unhackdemocracy.bsky.social. Olha is one of the most inspiring representatives of Ukrainian civil society which is an absolute role model of resilience and strength. We should listen attentively and learn from their experience.

This discussion could not be any more crucial. Time and time again we advocated for increased & substantial military support for Ukraine. Germany and Europe must now step up. Germany's era of hope-driven security and defence policy is over. Don't forget to register for Cafe Kyiv: cafekyiv.kas.de

Let's make Europe stronger by buying European! Here's a very Nordic-centric list of alternatives, but I also want to hear your favorite substitutes for American products. @p_kallioniemi

Wir haben einen Artikel für die @laenderanalysen.bsky.social geschrieben über die Entwicklung der russischen Luftkriegstrategie und wie die westlichen Partner die ukrainische Flugabwehr jetzt bestmöglich unterstützen können. 👉 laender-analysen.de/ukraine-anal...

The European Exchange (the mothership of the @epde.bsky.social and @kyivdialogue.bsky.social programs) is part of the EPD community. Check out here what we did collectively to support Ukraine.

If you are in Berlin today, make sure to attend the Ukraine solidarity action. Starting 6 PM at Berliner Dom!

„Die Russen werden uns überfallen, das haben sie immer getan.“ Das hörte Lars Handrich in Kyjiw schon vor 20 Jahren immer wieder. Von 2001 bis 2005 koordinierte der Ökonom ein DIW-Beratungsteam in der Ukraine. Er erinnert sich, wie sich das Land dem Westen öffnete. #DIW100 www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

Spionage-Drohnen über Deutschland – Unsere gerade veröffentlichte @correctiv.org-Recherche zeigt: So häufig ermitteln Staatsanwaltschaften mittlerweile, weil Drohnen über Militärgelände fliegen. Laut Ermittlern steht Russland mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit dahinter. tinyurl.com/2jy9ekjb

What concessions should the West make to russia to prevent escalation?! NONE! ZILCH! ZERO! This mindset is exactly how the world sleepwalked into WWII. It’s how the invasion of 🇬🇪 in 2008 led to the invasion of 🇺🇦 in 2014, and the full-scale war of 2022 thehill.com/opinion/inte...

"2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say." @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains the US position at @munsecconf.bsky.social. The US is no longer willing to guarantee Europe's security. 👉 Europe must step up and realize: Ukraine’s victory is Europe’s best security - and act accordingly!

Der neue Monitor ist da und liegt auf den digitalen Schreibtischen der @munsecconf.bsky.social. Welche Herausforderungen erwarten die ukrainische Flugabwehr in den kommenden Monaten und wie können wir bestmöglich unterstützen? Jetzt lesen und abonnieren: t.ly/_V2qU

For the seventh time, Belarus is staging the ritual of “electing” Aliaksandr Lukashenka as president. 🚨 Join our briefing ahead of the "presidential election" 📅 January 23, 2025 ⏰ 4:00 PM CET Details and registration on our website: epde.org?news=webinar...

Join us on Thursday for rare insights into Lukashenka's "election" mimicking. Besides old school authoritarian instruments, Belarus has often been a training ground for election manipulation tactics which were then employed by autocrats elsewhere. More info and sign up link below:

Seit Herbst '24 veröffentlichen wir monatliche Analysen zum russischen Luftkrieg gegen die Ukraine. In der neusten Ausgabe gibt es einen Überblick über die Entwicklung der russischen Strategie und Empfehlungen zur besseren Unterstützung der Ukraine.

»Der wichtigste Trend der letzten Monate, dass Russland immer weniger Gleitbomben einsetzen kann, setzt sich fort...Dieser Rückgang verdeutlicht die Wirkung der – späten aber wichtigen – Freigabe, mit westlichen Waffen Flughäfen und Logistikpunkte in Russland selbst anzugreifen.«

Join us next week! This timely topic - TikTok in the Romanian presidential election - is widely underreported and deserves more of our attention. We will be joined by two esteemed experts and will discuss the upcoming pivotal parliamentary and 2nd round of presidential elections!

That's a wrap! If you have missed our annual conference "Decentralized Democracy and Local Resilience" watch the highlights here! Also if you don't want to miss our future events, consider signing up to our mailing list. We have some things in the pipe line: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/newslette...

Mr Stanowski has such a great energy on and off the panel at our 19th Kyiv Dialogue Annual Conference. Certainly looking forward to foster exchange on municipal exchange in the German-Polish-Ukrainian triangle.

Clara Volintiru shared her experience from studying resilience in Eastern Europe: "Empowering local actors is the best safeguard for societal resilience, to maintain the power in the hands of the people who have the largest vested interest in the well-being of their communities." #19kyivdialogue

If you couldn't join us for our annual conference in Berlin last week, we will have a recap, a recording, and more material in the pipeline for you! Stay tuned and consider signing up to our newsletter at www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/newslette...

What links a sanctioned Belarusian official, Russians tied to security services, an EU CEC head, a British Lord, and an Italian MP? All praised Azerbaijan's election while the opposition and civil society remained exiled or jailed.

„Die freie Welt kann vor Diktatoren nicht kapitulieren. Sie kann nur gewinnen.“ Mit Arsenij Jazenjuk, dem Ex-Premierminister der Ukraine, habe ich darüber gesprochen, wie der russische Angriffskrieg mit den Entwicklungen auf dem Maidan vor 10 Jahren zusammenhängt.

Na sowas! Hubert Seipel soll Hunderttausende Euro aus Russland bekommen haben. Mir fallen noch die ein oder anderen Namen ein, deren Kontoauszüge ganz interessant sein könnten #KremlPropaganda www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/h...

Thousands of Ukrainians took to the streets in November 2013 to protest then-President Yanukovych rejection of signing the EU association agreement. Now, 10 years on, the European Commission recommends the EU Council to open accession negotiations. One step closer! 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🙌

Take a look at what we discussed at the 18th Kyiv Dialogue. - Sustainable peace for 🇺🇦 only in NATO+EU - local democracy and self-governance must be strengthened to deliver for the people during the reconstruction period - 🇺🇦 civil society must be represented at Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 ⬇️⬇️

Ich traf Olha zum ersten Mal während der Sommerschule der @kyivdialogue.bsky.social. Ich war beeindruckt von ihrer Stärke, ihrem Durchhaltevermögen und der unbedingten Zuversicht trotz der entsetzlichen Erfahrungen, von denen sie uns berichtete. 🎙️ Wohlverdientes Porträt von @dornblueth.bsky.social

We had a busy October at @epde.bsky.social mostly due to our election observation trip to Poland. We also report on our intervention at the OSCE HDC in Warsaw and our side event with OSCE/ODIHR. Make sure you are subscribed to our monthly newsletter: tinyurl.com/EPDE-News

“As long as it takes” ist keine Strategie. Für Ukrainer:innen sind russische Luftangriffe seit 618 Tagen Alltag. Ich bin dankbar, dass meine Lieben in Deutschland ohne Luftalarme und Explosionen einschlafen und aufwachen können. Das muss auch in der Ukraine möglich sein – as soon as possible.

Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf Israel ist jetzt bald 4 Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung. youtu.be/ZBtAtsdco-8

Danke @bmwk.de für den Upload und diese wichtige Rede von Vize-Kanzler Robert Habeck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBtA...

Glad to announce @epde.bsky.social made it over here, too. Make sure to give them a follow ⬇️

I thought I couldn’t feel so much pain anymore, but.. we watched a movie “20 days in Mariupol” that left me speechless no matter where you are and how much you can handle - dedicate these two hours to people in Mariupol who survived and who did not. the world must know the truth
