A Strategy to Help Ukraine Win the War and Become a Successful Member of the EU

On Monday, November 7, 2022, the Friends of KSE initiative, together with the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE), organized an important policy event focused on Ukraine’s EU Integration Strategy, exploring how the international community can best support Ukraine’s reconstruction and European future during and after the war.

Key Speakers: Experts on Ukraine’s Path to the EU

The event featured special guests from the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE):

They discussed the current situation in Ukraine, what is required for Ukraine to win the war, and the crucial steps toward becoming a successful EU member state.

Their insights emphasized how Ukraine’s EU integration must go hand in hand with reforms in governance, energy, and education — building the foundation for a resilient post-war economy aligned with European Union standards.
