11 Kyiv Security Forum. Youth

31/10/2025 – 01/11/2025 Kyiv
Kyiv Security Forum. Youth

The 10th Kyiv Security Forum for Youth, organized by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk Open Ukraine Foundation in partnership with NATO
Representation to Ukraine and supported by the National Democratic Institute and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, addressed
critical issues faced by Ukraine’s younger generation in a time of conflict. The Atlantic Council joined as an institutional partner,
enhancing the forum’s international scope.
This year's theme, “Gen W: Ukraine's Generation of War,” centered on the unique role and challenges of the youth who have grown
up amidst ongoing conflict.
During the forum, apart from discussion of current security challenges, strategies to support Ukraine, and prospects for its
integration into Euro-Atlantic structures, I had the unique opportunity to contribute to drafting an appeal to NATO Secretary General
Mark Rutte, advocating for Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance.
