On April 9, 2025, representatives of the Transatlantic Dialogue Center and the Human Rights Center ZMINA visited the National Academy of Political and Strategic Studies (ANEPE) in Santiago, Chile. As a state institution of higher education under the Ministry of National Defense, ANEPE plays a central role in fostering academic and strategic dialogue on defense and security, bridging civil and military perspectives across Chilean society. The meeting provided a valuable platform for an in-depth conversation on Ukraine’s current realities and the broader geopolitical shifts influencing international support for Ukraine.

During the exchange, the Ukrainian delegation presented an update on the evolving security, humanitarian, and political landscape shaped by Russia’s ongoing aggression. The conversation focused not only on the urgency of sustained global backing but also on the practical challenges that Ukraine encounters in maintaining international attention, mobilizing resources, and countering disinformation.
This meeting formed part of a broader outreach effort to Latin American institutions committed to strategic education and research. We thank ANEPE for the warm reception and thoughtful exchange, and we look forward to continued dialogue between our regions.
