Description: Amid Russia’s full-scale invasion, the timing of future Ukrainian elections has recently come into the spotlight of international and Ukrainian media. Regular, competitive, free and fair elections are fundamental pillars of resilient democracies across the world — but can the same be said for democracies facing a full-scale invasion? Join USIP, in collaboration with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems and the National Endowment for Democracy, for a discussion on refortifying Ukraine’s democratic and electoral foundations. The conversation will delve into the key steps Ukraine can undertake now to prepare for free and fair elections once Russia’s invasion ends, while also addressing strategies for Ukraine to safeguard itself against disruptive Russian disinformation narratives targeting its democracy and the postponement of elections.
