As the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year, the country faces a defining moment — and the decisions made now will shape the international order for decades to come.

In this conversation, Ukraine's Ambassador to Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, offers first-hand diplomatic insights into the war, explores prospects for peace, and reflects on what Ukraine's future might look like. Joined by a panel of experts, the discussion examines what the conflict means for international security and the rules-based international order — and why it matters here in South Australia, from our defence industries and economic interests to our Ukrainian community ties.

Panellists:
— Vasyl Myroshnychenko, Ukraine's Ambassador to Australia
— Graham Priestnall OAM, President, Australian Industry and Defence Network
— Prof Jessica Genauer, Flinders University
— Alexander Podoroshko, Ukrainian Australian Chamber of Commerce – South Australia

Presented by the Australian Institute of International Affairs – South Australia
