25/06/2026 | 16:00:56 Yes. In 2013, I was a Master's student travelling from Ukraine to the United States to one of the big leadership conferences for young people from all around the globe. And what did I have on my agenda? Of course, I wanted to speak about Ukraine, about our revolution of dignity. I wanted to promote my country. And I was searching for some media at that conference whom I could speak to. And then I found some media that were excited to speak to me. But then they asked me a question, "Do you... 25/06/2026 | 12:51:16 Colleagues, Arts and sports have been always linked to politics since the ancient Greek times. To be a good citizen always meant to be active in sports. And of course, those who would report about sports actually would have a direct influence on democracies. Unfortunately, media coverage of sport is no longer so distant from many authoritarian regimes. And many authoritarian regimes are actually using sports and different sports federations and they control the communication in it. I want to... 25/06/2026 | 10:40:10 Dear colleagues, Let me start by saying thank you on behalf of millions of Ukrainian people.

And I'm sure that each of us in Europe feels the consequences of all of that. The global economy, the international legal order and even short-term disruption of key transport chains or in particular the Strait of Hormuz are already having tangible consequences on our economy and especially for European states. Regarding the humanitarian dimension, I also don't need to mention how bad it is. For Ukraine, this is... 23/04/2026 | 10:33:52 Dear colleagues, For me, when I speak about the war in Ukraine again and again, I often actually find myself in a situation when I don't know, how can I repeat the same things all over again for so many years? And as our colleagues said, we are also people. Yes, I think we have a lot of steel inside us, but it doesn't mean that we don't want to have some normal things in our lives. And this winter I found myself in my apartment when it was six degrees and it was not possible to sleep in the...
