SUMMARY:Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:It will be the fourth Ukraine Recovery Conference\, continuing the annual series of high-level political events dedicated to the swift recovery and long-term reconstruction of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. \nGovernments\, international organizations\, financial institutions\, businesses\, regions\, municipalities and civil society will come together\, united by a shared commitment to strengthen the resilience of Ukraine for as long as needed. The participants will represent the various stakeholder groups\, demonstrating their strong engagement for Ukraine’s future. \nThe conference will reflect the Lugano principles\, including a “whole of society” approach to recovery through the meaningful participation of a broad range of stakeholders. \nThe URC2025 will revolve around four thematic dimensions: the Business Dimension\, the Human Dimension\, the Local and Regional Dimension and the EU Dimension. These same Dimensions shaped the works of the URC2024. They are still the most relevant to the resilience and reconstruction of Ukraine\, and maintaining them will give continuity to the work done\, and the discussions held in Berlin in June 2024. \nUpholding the spirit of the Ukraine Reform Conferences that took place up until 2022\, the URC2025 will also showcase Ukrainian reform progress in the context of its economic resilience and the EU accession process. \nImportant crosscutting issues such as macroeconomic stability\, resilience and security\, infrastructure\, housing\, energy\, climate protection\, green recovery\, culture\, healthcare\, gender issues\, education\, environment\, science-technology-innovation and disabilities will be integrated into the above-mentioned dimensions. Moreover\, a Recovery Forum – and a connected Business Fair – will be an integral part of the URC2025.

SUMMARY:Grain Ukraine 2025
DESCRIPTION:The global agricultural landscape is undergoing a transformation — and Ukraine’s agri-sector is at the epicenter of these changes. Climate crisis\, war\, new EU regulatory requirements\, trade restrictions — these are the challenges shaping a new reality in which agribusiness must rethink how to achieve profitability. \nSpeakers at the international conference Grain Ukraine 2025\, taking place on May 29–30 in Kyiv\, will discuss these challenges and explore potential growth pathways. This year\, the event marks its 10th anniversary. \nThis conference is not just about the industry — it’s about the people driving it forward. One of them is Andrey Stavnitser\, co-owner and CEO of TIS port\, founder of Superhumans\, founder of Grain Ukraine Conference. Ten years ago\, he initiated the first Grain Ukraine conference in Odesa. Today\, he addresses the community with the following words: \n«Over the 10 years since the first Grain Ukraine in Odesa\, we’ve gained far more experience than we ever expected. And yet\, we’re here\, we’re working  —  and more than that\, we’re looking ahead and making plans. Many cultures have a saying: ‘They tried to bury us\, but they didn’t know we were seeds.’ To me\, that perfectly captures the spirit of our conference. Despite standing on shaky ground\, we continue to grow\, optimize\, and evolve. I’m proud that Grain Ukraine has remained a platform where big things are made possible.» \nThe core theme of this year’s event is “New Avenues for Profitability: Rethinking Agriculture Amid Global Challenges.” \nСеред питань\, які звучатимуть: Чому внутрішня переробка залишається незбалансованою\, які чинники гальмують розвиток і що дає перевагу? Чи витримає український агросектор правила гри ЄС? Торгові війни в умовах великої війни: як зберегти ринки й вийти сильнішими? \nSome of the key questions to be explored include: Why does domestic processing remain unbalanced? What factors are holding development back — and what creates an advantage? Can Ukraine’s agricultural sector meet the EU’s rules of the game? And in the midst of a full-scale war\, how can we withstand trade wars\, retain markets\, and emerge stronger? \nThe following panel discussions will take place during the event: \n\n«From Competition to Cooperation: How to Build an Effective Marginal Chain from Farmer to Foreign Consumer»\n«Echoes of the Past and Challenges of the Future: Strengthening the Global Position of Ukrainian Grain»\n«Logistics Business amid High Competition and Low Demand: Strategies for Maintaining Profitability»\n«Oilseed Market: Challenges of Deglobalization»\n«Restoring Investment Financing: Where to Find Funds for Development Projects Now?»\n«Competitiveness Models for Farmers in Europe and Ukraine»\n«From fields to ports: How EUDR is reshaping Ukrainian grain supply chains»\n\n  \nAmong the speakers at Grain Ukraine: \n\nPriscilla Toffano\, IMF Resident Representative for Ukraine\nJonathan Grange\, partner at Sunstone Brokers\nThomas Mielke\, Editor-in-Chief of OIL WORLD\, CEO of ISTA Mielke GmbH\nPetr Krogman\, Owner\, Agromino; President\, Ukrainian-Czech Chamber of Commerce\nVitaliy Koval\, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine\nManuel Alcaraz\, General Manager\, Cereales y Harinas Garsan S.L.

SUMMARY:Free Mariupol Defenders Rally in New York - Three Years Since the City's Heroic Defense
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the rally is to draw international attention to the ongoing captivity of over 2\,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Russia. It aims to break the silence that has surrounded\, for the third year in a row\, the daily violations of their rights: torture\, isolation\, and both psychological and physical abuse. Ukrainian heroes who defended Mariupol and survived Russian captivity will share their personal stories of war and imprisonment. \nParticipants will honor the memory of the defenders who resisted Russian forces for 86 days and will publicly call for increased international pressure on Russia to comply with the Geneva Conventions and immediately release all POWs. \nThe event is organized by the NGO Heart of Azovstal\, in partnership with Rebirth.Ukraine and Kind Deeds and will be held in New York City Hall.
