Contrary to most of the dire press coverage coming out of Ukraine, change is afoot in most of Ukraine. In the past few years, Ukraine has witnessed a cultural and political revolution. Yevhen Hlibovytsky is a partner of the Pro Mova consulting firm in Kyiv, Ukraine, and a leading public intellectual.
Hlibovytsky will describe specific civil society projects and initiatives to exhibit how much Ukraine has changed over the last six years. Anders Åslund, senior fellow at the Eurasia Center, moderates the discussion.

Resilience in the face of adversity
Ukraine’s transformation
Ukraine has moved tentatively toward an open society and market economy since independence. The country has held several democratic elections and made halting progress in addressing corruption and state control in its economy. Since the 2014 Maidan Revolution, Ukraine has undertaken significant governance and economic reform and moved decisively toward a Europe-Atlantic foreign policy. Since 2022, Ukraine has resiliently continued to advance some reforms despite fighting for its very existence against the full-scale Russian invasion.
