Maria Baziv, an English Instructor at the Department of English Philology, participated in a special meeting held in Kyiv as part of the Yalta European Strategy “Three Years — Time to Win,” where key issues of security in Ukraine and international support were discussed. The event brought together leading global leaders, politicians, and military officials, who jointly examined strategic steps to strengthen security and stability in Ukraine.
The meeting became a platform for important discussions about military aid, strengthening international cooperation, and prospects for post-war reconstruction. The participant had the opportunity to directly communicate with prominent world figures, including former Prime Minister of Great Britain Boris Johnson and Minister of Defense of the Netherlands Kajsa Ollongren. Additionally, there was a meeting held with Ukrainian military personnel who shared their vision of the situation at the front and their view on the importance of youth’s active role in the country’s development.
An instructor also performed the role of interpreter during a panel discussion involving European commissioners and representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, specifically interpreting the conversation between the Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth Wopke Hoekstra and military officer Oleksandr Batalov. Issues of providing military support and security guarantees for Ukraine were discussed during this conversation.
