“War in Ukraine: situation and historical background. The perspective from German Russians”
Peter’s presentation will focus on the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine and the traumatic effect on the people fleeing the invasion of their country.
He will share with us his vast knowledge of the history of Ukraine, their people, and their strong and brave defense of their country. Millions of people have fled Ukraine but many of the husbands and fathers have remained behind to help ward off the invaders. He will provide first-hand information on current events and the desire of a vast majority of migrants who wish to return to their country.
