The United States elections, which will take place only two days before the Forum, will have a major impact on the future of Ukraine and global politics.
How will the results of the United States presidential election affect further support for Ukraine in the war and in its reconstruction? Will the international community remain cohesive in its support for Ukraine, or should we expect significant geopolitical changes?
These questions will be answered during this panel, which is anticipated to be one of the most important and relevant at this year's Kyiv International Economic Forum.
The panel discussion is organized in partnership with the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.
