About the Ukraine Forum
The Ukraine Forum at Chatham House is a unique research forum and platform for debate. Launched in 2015, it provides insight for international audiences on internal Ukrainian dynamics. It offers perspectives from the government, the private sector and civil society. To date the forum has held over 50 events with more than 80 Ukrainian and 40 European policymakers, journalists, civil society activists and academics. It has produced approximately 40 video interviews with experts on reforms, and seven short films about change-makers. The major Chatham House report The Struggle for Ukraine, analysing the changes in Ukraine since 2014, was downloaded or read online over 11,000 times across 76 countries.
