KIEV, Sept. 12 - The 13th Annual Meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) “The World, Europe and Ukraine: storms of changes,“ organized by the international civil platform YES, in partnership with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, will be held in Kiev on September 15-17.

"The annexation and the war in the heart of Europe have broken the basic international rules. Ukraine has found itself in the center of a “global storm”, but if its initial causes are not removed, it will sooner or later reach everyone. I hope that our western partners realize why our country should remain their priority: without solving the Ukrainian issue, European issues will not be solved," the founder and member of the Board of the Yalta European Strategy, Victor Pinchuk said in a Thursday press release of YES.
