A View of the Ukraine War You Haven’t Heard with Mrs. Mitzi Perdue

This event is part of the Intermarium Lecture Series and was recorded live at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C. on Monday, October 17, 2022. About the Lecture After spending time on the ground in Ukraine as a guest of Ukrainian law enforcement, and after visiting bombed-out police stations and learning something of the trauma that a country endures when lawlessness takes over, she came to believe that one of the great unmet needs in Ukraine today is helping law enforcement recover from the invaders’ attempts to destroy it. In this lecture, Mitzi will share information on what the invaders did, how this has encouraged human trafficking, and what it’s meant for the proliferation of the sale of irradiated scrap metal poached from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. She’ll end with reasons why she believes the Ukrainians will prevail. For a hint, the reasons involve breadcrumbs, colorful nail polish, and a large yellow rose.
