On Wednesday over 60 ExchangeAlumni tuned in to the inaugural German Fulbright Alumni Association Brown Bag Lunch to listen to Hanna Shvindina of the American University Kyiv, and Ian Campbell, Minister Counselor for Political Affairs at the U.S. Embassy Berlin discuss the impact of Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war of aggression on Ukrainians. Fulbright Germany and the alumni community have continually provided support to Ukrainians through donations of medical, food, and household items, and through building professional bridges, a testament to the power of transatlantic exchanges to build international friendships.

Watch and listen to Ambassador Gutmann discussing the transatlantic relations while cycling through Berlin in the Abendschau rbb report.
