Contested Solidarity - European and Global Reactions to Russia's War against Ukraine

In February 2022, the world was outraged by Russia's criminal war of aggression against Ukraine and prom-ised solidarity with the attacked country. But what did this solidarity mean in political practice? How did civil society actors and the public react and influence political decision-making processes in European countries and beyond? In 15 country chapters by different authors, this volume provides insight into the reactions, perceptions and public debates put forward by different social and political actors, while painting a complex picture of 'contested solidarity' that helps to understand why, even in the fourth year of the war, Ukraine seems far from achieving a just peace.
