A Firsthand Report of Ukrainian Suffering and Resolve

June 28, 2022  • Aspen Ideas Festival

Yuliya Tychtivska is the dynamic executive director of Aspen Institute Kyiv, an Aspen Institute partner organization in Ukraine, founded in 2015. Less a conversation about the war and of strategies and global actions to support a Ukrainian victory, this conversation probed the human dimensions of the tragedy. Tychtivska talked about her experiences, emotions, and activities, as well as those of her colleagues, friends, and family — some like her who became refugees to escape bombs and protect children, and some like her husband and many male colleagues who stayed to fight.
