Join the Windham World Affairs Council this Wednesday for a talk on:

Russia – Ukraine War: Third Year and Counting

October 30, 2024
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

at 118 Elliot, Brattleboro, VT 05301

Well into the third year of fighting on the battlefields of Eastern Europe, the Ukraine/Russia war remains locked in an apparent stalemate. Please join Bob Beck as he reviews the current state of the conflict, the likely endgame scenarios, and what it all means for the United States.

Robert Beck of Peterborough, N.H. served for 30 years overseas with the United States government in embassies in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. He writes frequently on foreign affairs for local papers, has spoken often across the region about the war in Ukraine, and teaches foreign policy classes at Keene State College's Cheshire Academy for Lifelong Learning.

For 64 years, Windham World Affairs Council has brought the world to Windham County. We build community engagement, dialogue, and resilience by helping people understand complicated issues that manifest globally and locally. Through ongoing programs such as salons, youth and teacher support, and a monthly speaker series led by global experts, we build intergenerational and cross-cultural social connections to create a more inclusive and engaged community. As an independent, nonpartisan organization with an all-volunteer board and a growing dues-paying membership, we present all events free to the public and participate as a chapter of the national World Affairs Councils of America.

People are encouraged to join WWAC here in order to support monthly lectures and participate in our 'Members & Friends Salon' for networking and off the record guest speakers. Salons typically start at 6pm after the WWAC board meeting on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 4:45 to 5:45 PM. All are welcome.
