Mr. Marko Mihkelson

Chair of Foreign Affairs Committee, Parliament of Estonia

Moderator:

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, NATO members Lithuania, Denmark, and Estonia have led the way in both backing Ukraine’s defense and bolstering their own capabilities. And for its part, no country has shown more courage and tenacity than Ukraine itself. These countries' parliamentary foreign affairs committee chairs will join Hudson’s Peter Rough to discuss what to look for at the Vilnius summit, and how to ensure Ukraine receives the assistance it needs to liberate its territory and win the war.
