How could Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine have been prevented?

Six years ago, a Kyiv Post conference drew attention to Russia's savage violence in Syria. If Vladimir Putin had been confronted in Syria, maybe Feb. 24, 2022 would have never happened.

We're paying close attention to our June 18 conference, "Bringing Peace to Syria & Ukraine." The connections are many and real. Ending these wars and Russia's destructive role in both of them is one of the great moral challenges of our time. We special thanks to the 14 speakers who enlightened us with their wisdom and the more than 220 people who attended the conference.
