Co-hosted by Kerry Secrest, Honorary Consul of Lithuania to Vermont, Windham World Affairs Council and Saxtons Distillery.
On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania to the United States, Gediminas Varvuolis will offer an inside view on Lithuania’s unwavering support for Ukraine and what it will take to achieve a durable peace in the region. He will offer his perspective on the evolving Baltic security landscape, including Lithuania’s model for burden-sharing, defense investment, and energy independence at a time when resilience is essential. His remarks will illuminate both the stakes for Europe and the lessons that resonate far beyond its borders.
This event is hosted by the Windham World Affairs Council at Saxtons Distillery in Brattleboro, VT
From 6-7:30 p.m, immediately after the talk, siblings Kerry Secrest and Christian Stromberg (owner of Saxtons Distillery) are holding a solidarity cocktail hour and bonfire “Warmth in the Cold: An Evening for Ukraine” to raise money for winter care packages.
