As Ukraine approaches presidential and legislative elections in 2019, polls show acute political fragmentation with no party or candidate receiving more than ten percent support. In addition, polling shows alarmingly low trust levels for politicians of all stripes—reformers, government, populists, and pro-Russian forces alike. What accounts for this state of affairs? What does it mean for good governance and reform?
Talk with Adrian Karatnycky, Senior Fellow and co-Director of the Ukraine in Europe Program, Atlantic Council (US).
The event will be moderated by Marina Pesenti, Director of Ukrainian Institute London.
This event will be held in English.
