13th Yalta European Strategy Annual Meeting (YES) to Open on 15 September



The 13th Annual Meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) “The World, Europe and Ukraine: storms of changes”, organized by the international civil platform YES, in partnership with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, will be held in Kyiv on September 15-17. The plenary sessions and special sections of the forum will take place at the Mystetsky Arsenal museum and cultural centre. 

More than 350 prominent politicians, diplomats, businessmen, civil activists and experts from 20 countries of the world will take part in the work of the forum. 


The participants of the YES Annual Meeting will be discussing topical geopolitical, economic and social processes that are underlying the drastic changes and the many challenges Europe and the world are facing and are impacting on their future. 

Commenting on the goals of the 13th YES Annual Meeting, the founder and member of the Board of the Yalta European Strategy, Victor Pinchuk said, “The annexation and the war in the heart of Europe have broken the basic international rules. Ukraine has found itself in the centre of a “global storm”, but if its initial causes are not removed, it will sooner or later reach everyone. I hope that our western partners realize why our country should remain their priority: without solving the Ukrainian issue, European issues will not be solved.
