# Event Details - **Event Name**: The war in Ukraine: 5 Years On - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Come and discuss the effect of the war on Ukrainian workers and communities, and why we need international solidarity with Ukranian workers.About this EventRussia’s war against Ukraine did not begin in 2022. For more than a decade, Ukrainians have lived with occupation, displacement and war. It has also become a war that lasted longer than WW1. The devastation has forced millions of Ukrainians from their homes, separated families, and sent workers into the armed forces. Air raids and missile attacks have become part of everyday life. During my own visit to Ukraine, I experienced first-hand something of the psychological impact of living under the constant threat created by Russian imperialist aggression.Yet Ukrainians continue trying to maintain ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances. Workers are organising not simply around wages and working conditions, but in the midst of a war that shapes every aspect of their struggle. Ukraine faces shortages of skilled workers, immense pressure on public services, and severe challenges across healthcare and education.These questions will not disappear when the fighting ends. Ukraine has accumulated enormous debts, while discussions about reconstruction increasingly treat the country’s recovery as an investment opportunity. Who will pay for reconstruction? What will happen to workers’ rights and public services? And what kind of Ukraine will emerge from the war?Women have also faced particular pressures through displacement, caring responsibilities, violence and the burden of sustaining essential services during wartime and reconstruction.This discussion will look at the situation facing Ukrainian workers and communities, the effects of war on women and public services, and why international solidarity with Ukraine must also mean solidarity with its working class.If you are curious about Ukraine beyond the headlines and want to discuss these questions, come along and join the conversation.Methodist Central Hall - Room 12 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/manchester/the-war-in-ukraine-5-years-on/100001998382170868 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Manchester - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Methodist Central Hall - **lat**: 53.4823192 - **long**: -2.235832 - **full address**: Methodist Central Hall, Oldham Street, Manchester, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The war in Ukraine: 5 Years On - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/530f57588b0314e07525c21badcd81e8d87a4be6a028e62dcd0bbbb72834beac-rimg-w1200-h1600-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1787344286 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The war in Ukraine: 5 Years On being held? - **A:** The war in Ukraine: 5 Years On takes place on Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Methodist Central Hall, Oldham Street, Manchester, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The war in Ukraine: 5 Years On? - **A:** The war in Ukraine: 5 Years On is organized by Workers' Liberty. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
