About the event: In 2016, Canada established targeted contacts with Russia in the context of its global re-engagement strategy. 2017 saw an expansion of official contacts between Canada and Russia, but challenges remain in the bilateral relationship, mostly due to the lack of progress under the Minsk Agreements. The seminar will try to provide a perspective to the merge question: What will 2018 bring us?
