Ambassador Plepytė and Professor McFaul will discuss security on NATO’s Eastern flank\, Western strategy for Ukraine\, and the U.S. role in standing up to the new ‘axis of evil’ in defense of democracy and the free world. \nAmbassador Audra Plepytė was appointed as Lithuania’s Ambassador to the United States of America and to the United Mexican States in 2021.
