For the first time since 2018, Students For Liberty returned to Ukraine with a two-day conference: Ukrainian Renaissance!
Our teams across Europe, especially in central and eastern regions, have been steadfast in their support of Ukraine’s defensive efforts against Russia’s invasion. They have actively raised awareness, provided accommodation for war refugees, and extended assistance.
Vít Samek, one of our partners and a speaker at the Czech team’s conferences, approached Štěpán Kovář, our Regional Coordinator for Central Europe, with a visionary idea. Vít, the founder of the Operace Kyseláč humanitarian mission, which has shipped over a million dollars’ worth of aid to Ukraine, proposed organizing a conference in Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine. Štěpán and Vít had previously collaborated on promoting Kyseláč, along with several activism projects, including the blockade of the Russian Embassy in Prague.
