(San Francisco) — The Commonwealth Club of California presents His Excellency Marek Magierowski, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the United States, to discuss Poland and the EU on the frontlines of the crisis in Ukraine. This in-person and online program on “Poland at the Border of Putin’s War Against Ukraine and the West” takes place on Thursday October 6, 6–7 p.m.
Poland is rapidly becoming the linchpin of the Western effort to defend Ukraine and deter Russia. The Polish-Ukrainian border, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February, is a hub of activity. With refugees from Ukraine flowing back and forth and military equipment being transferred in to help the Ukrainian war effort along with aid for Ukraine's people, Poland has taken a leadership role in Europe and the West, stepping up to both welcome its neighbors and help defend them against Russia's aggression.
As the war drags on into fall, The Commonwealth Club of California is honored to welcome His Excellency Marek Magierowski, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the United States, to discuss the current situation on Poland's border with Ukraine and the strategic considerations for Poland, the EU, and the NATO alliance. Ambassador Magierowski was appointed to Washington, D.C., in November 2021 after previously serving as Poland's ambassador to Israel and in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as undersecretary of state for economic cooperation with the Americas and Asia.
This program is sponsored by Taube Philanthropies.
The program is in person and online and open to the public. Tickets are free and rsvps are requested at https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-10-06/poland-border-putins-war-against-ukraine-and-west
Journalists wishing to attend as press must RSVP.
