The War in Ukraine’s Donbas: Origins, Trajectory, and Options for Resolution
The Defence Engagement Program is pleased to invite you to an expert briefing by Dr. David R. Marples. He is a Distinguished University Professor of Russian and East European History and currently Chair of the Department of History and Classics, University of Alberta. He is the author of sixteen single-authored books, including Ukraine in Conflict (2017), ‘Our Glorious Past’ Lukashenka’s Belarus and the Great Patriotic War (2014) and Heroes and Villains: Creating National History in Contemporary Ukraine (2008). He has published over 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals. He has also edited three books on nuclear power and security in the former Soviet Union, contemporary Belarus, and most recently Ukraine’s Euromaidan: Analyses of a Civil Revolution (Stuttgart: ibidem Verlag, 2015, co-edited with Frederick Mills).
Dr. Marples will deliver a 45-minute presentation on 21 February, 2019 followed by a 45-minute Q&A focusing on Ukraine’s Donbas region, the challenges Ukraine is likely to face in 2019, and the role Canada should play. Dr. Marples will argue that regionalism in Ukraine is the key factor in 2019, which is at its most extreme in Donbas, but also critical in areas like Transcarpathia and the Odessa Region. Dr. Marples will also address Russia’s evolving goals, and Ukraine’s developing political situation. The role of Canada in stabilizing Ukraine will be discussed, particularly Canada’s role in promoting democracy and the training of a new generation of civil servants, as well as Canada’s role in strengthening the Ukrainian army’s coherence and capacity.
The briefing portion of the presentation will be filmed (no crowd scans), and made available upon request. The Q&A portion will not be filmed and will follow the Chatham House Rule. Following this event, a report of the briefing will be sent out to all invitees. A 5-minute summary video of the presentation will be available to the Defence Team on the Defence Team Video Library. This event will be available via video-teleconference for those outside of the NCR (for more details please send an email)
NDHQ (Pearkes), Brigadier Richard Malone Multimedia Room, 2NT
The event is only open to current federal government employees.

Respect in the CAF - 27 February 2019

The “Respect in the CAF” workshop is an interactive curriculum intended to promote respect in the CAF through awareness and understanding, to empower CAF members to take a stand against sexual misconduct and to support victims. Because of the limits of time, the workshop does not provide a detailed account of the laws governing sexual assault nor does it address issues which influence patterns of violence and abuse in the military, such as post deployment adjustment or mental health disorders. Nevertheless, this workshop is designed to foster a sustained change in attitudes and behaviours in order to build a respectful climate and culture within the CAF.
The “Respect in the CAF” workshop consists of the following three modules and objectives:
Module 1 – The nature and magnitude of sexual misconduct in the CAF
- Explain why sexual misconduct has no place in the CAF
- Describe the broad range of behaviours which constitute sexual misconduct
- Recognize the negative impact of sexual misconduct on victims, the unit and the CAF
- Recognize the prevalence of myths and paradigms that contribute to a culture in which sexual misconduct is ignored, downplayed or accepted and in which victims are hesitant to report
- Recognize that professional relationships should be based on trust and respect and align with CAF ethics and values
- Distinguish between forms of consent and non-consent
Module 2 – Bystander Intervention
- Employ bystander intervention strategies to safely and effectively prevent sexual misconduct
- Prevent and respond to acts of reprisal
- Promote a culture in which bystander intervention is widely accepted, expected, implemented and supported
Module 3 – Victim Support
- Report instances of sexual misconduct (duty to report)
- Recognize why the CAF encourages all victims of sexual assault to file a report
- Maintain confidentiality of information
- Identify sexual assault resources provided by the CAF and the community
- Respond to disclosures of sexual misconduct using a victim-centered approach
- Demonstrate compassion and empathy for individuals who have been sexually assaulted or sexually harassed
- Practice self-care
Teaching and learning process
The “Respect in the CAF” workshop uses a range of teaching and learning processes, including:
- Lecture based presentation of key information
- Interactive and participatory exercises
- Scenario discussion
- Handouts provided during and after the workshop, to reinforce learning
The teaching methods in the workshop are interactive and participatory. The workshop addresses cognitive, affective, and behavioural domains: what people know, how they feel, and how they behave. This workshop is tailored to a military context. It uses language and scenarios which are relevant and realistic for the CAF.

Thursday, 28 February, 2019 at 101 Colonel By Drive, 2 NT, Brigadier Richard Malone Multimedia Centre, 1030-1200hrs
The Defence Engagement Program is pleased to invite you to an expert briefing by Dr. Lucas Kello.

Dr. Kello will deliver a 45-minute presentation followed by a 45-minute Q&A focusing on Cybersecurity. Dr. Kello will discuss lessons for cyber strategy drawn from previous revolutions in the technologies of conflict. He will assess emerging problems in cyber strategy and will analyze why western states are falling behind their global competitors. Dr. Kello will also discuss Russia’s cyber doctrine, examining the areas in which Russia is dominant and providing recommendations on what western democracies should do to counter this threat. Dr. Kello’s briefing will conclude with an analysis of nontraditional actors operating outside the state system and how these can effect conflict escalation and national security.
The briefing portion of the presentation will be filmed (no crowd scans), and made available upon request. The Q&A portion will not be filmed and will follow the Chatham House Rule. Following this event, a report of the briefing will be sent out to all invitees. A 5-minute summary video of the presentation will be available to the Defence Team on the Defence Team Video Library.
