The World Affairs Council of St. Louis is honored to welcome former President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko and former First Lady Kateryna Yushchenko for a special luncheon and conversation about Ukraine’s enduring struggle for freedom, sovereignty, and democracy.

President Yushchenko, who led Ukraine from 2005 to 2010 following the historic Orange Revolution, played a pivotal role in advancing Ukraine’s democratic aspirations and strengthening its ties with the West. Together, President and Mrs. Yushchenko will share their perspectives on Ukraine’s history, the challenges facing the nation today, and what Ukraine’s future means for democracy around the world.

Moderated by Charlie Allen, the program will feature a conversation followed by audience questions.
