2021-22 Meetings

Formal UGG-NCR meetings for this season follows our traditional approach of being convened on the fourth Tuesday of each month, with the exception of December where there we will not be any meeting.  Meetings will also be suspended for the summer months of June, July and August. Start time is 7:30 PM (Eastern) unless otherwise noted.

Since the start of January 2020, the UGG-NCR’s formal monthly meetings have been delivered as on-line “Webinars” rather than in-person presentations / discussions.

  • “Ukraine’s Strategic Situation: GEOGRAPHY, GERMANS, GAS, GUNS, THE KREMLIN & GUERILLAS” by Borys Gengalo

    This presentation provided a basic overview of the background to the invasion threat from Russia in 2022: history, motivations, politics and international issues. Borys discussed the current situation touching upon both political and military aspects. He also speculated on the future with an outline of potential developments (i.e. in Borys’ words .. his wild-ass guesses).

    Following a career in the Canadian Military and private enterprise, Borys has been a Long-Term Election Observer in Ukraine, and has held various posts within Ukrainian-Canadian organizations.

    A video recording of Borys’ Webinar presentation can be found here. This also includes further commentary from Borys on the evolving situation as well as answering questions posed by attendees.
