On 29 May, within the framework of the TDC project “Generation of Change” Ukrainian students met with Yehor Cherniev, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, Head of the Permanent Delegation of Ukraine to the NATO Parlamentary Assembly.
The discussion covered various topics such as the harsh conditions of military life on the front lines, intricacies of the military exchange process, and importance of NATO in the ongoing war and in Ukraine’s future victory.
The students had an opportunity to find out more about the evolution of NATO’s views on Ukraine, the shifts in support from our international partners, as well as fundamental changes in the state’s defense capabilities. Crucial role of foreign weaponry, and the risk of nuclear catastrophe was also discussed. Besides expressing opinion and exchanging its views, the students raised their awareness in the aforementioned topics firsthand in the atmosphere of trust and goodwill.
The “Generation of Change” is a project of the Transatlantic Dialogue Center aiming at fostering the development of a dialogue between high-ranking Ukrainian officials and local students. In light of the increasing outward migration of youth, the project is meant to engage them in the state’s contemporary social and political processes. To this end, in May-June 2023, TDC holds a series of non-public meetings for active Ukrainian student leaders interested in state-building processes, Ukrainian politics, and public activities.
