EVENTS • BETWEEN WAR AND CONSCIENCE

The Russian lawyer from «Connection e.V.», Artyom Klyga, together with his colleagues from the Russian «Movement of Conscientious Objectors» (MCO), Sasha Belik and Katya Dikovskaya, will discuss how the war between Russia and Ukraine is transforming pacifist thinking, EU policy, the concept of conscription, and the right to conscientious objection.

The speakers will share insights into the work of MCO, their cooperation with «Connection e.V.», present real—life cases, and answer questions from the audience.
