What future for Ukraine would Ukrainians appreciate and the world accept? What should Ukraine change while at war? Which countries are the role models?
17 Ukrainian experts with experience in various areas got together in early March 2012, when they all foresaw Yanukovych’s fall. But Ukraine after Yanukovych was unclear, and opposition to an incumbent president had already made this mistake once – when Maidan in 2004 was too focused on defeating Kuchma and it neglected the agenda for post-Kuchma.
After three years of work, the Nestor Group has presented its Vision for Ukraine in Kyiv. On March 11, one of the co-authors will be in London, to present the document here.
This event will be held in English, with Q&A in Ukrainian and English
