The lecture was opened by the Director of the Prague Centre for Transatlantic Relations of the CEVRO Institute (PTCR) and former Defence Minister and Foreign Minister Alexandr Vondra. The main speaker was Steven Pifer who currently serves as the Director of the Arms Control Initiative Brooking and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Center on the United States and Europe. Steven Pifer, among other things, served as the US ambassador to Ukraine.

The main guest extensively addressed the present and future of Ukraine and also recalled how the current Ukrainian-Russian conflict evolved.
