The two-day 18th Kyiv Security Forum has kicked off in Kyiv. This year’s theme is: “Darkness or Dawn: Is There Light Ahead?”
The forum brought together international leaders, high-ranking officials in the fields of security and defense, NATO representatives, diplomats, innovators, and public figures to discuss contemporary security challenges.
One of the main issues was nuclear security. April 26 marks the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Russian attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear infrastructure and the occupation of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have once again brought the nuclear threat to the forefront.
Other key topics include international solidarity with Ukraine, transatlantic unity, global security, defense and modern military technologies, the fight against corruption, countering disinformation, and the resilience of cities and energy infrastructure.
The Kyiv Security Forum, founded in 2007 by Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s Open Ukraine Foundation, is a leading international platform for discussing issues of war, peace, and global security. The forum’s primary mission is to protect Ukraine’s national interests on the international stage. The platform helps keep Ukraine at the center of the global agenda, expand international partnerships, and build expert knowledge on pressing security issues. Since its inception, the forum has hosted thousands of events that have attracted the attention of millions of people in Ukraine and beyond.
