The more military support Ukraine receives, the greater its chance of victory and, thus, the lower the risk of escalation, believes Victor Pinchuk, founder and member of the Board of Yalta European Strategy (YES), businessman and philanthropist.
The 20th Annual Meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) THE NECESSITY TO WIN was held on September 13 – 14, 2024 in Kyiv. Over 700 leading politicians, diplomats, businessmen, servicemen of the armed forces of Ukraine, veterans, civil activists, and experts from more than 30 countries took part in the conference organised by YES, in partnership with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
On July 1, 2004, Yalta European Strategy held its first meeting in Livadia Palace in Yalta in Ukrainian Crimea. Almost to the day 20 years later, on June 25th, 2024, the European Union formally opened accession negotiations with Moldova and Ukraine.
