We Cannot Back Down from Supporting Ukraine

If Ukraine falls, the consequences will haunt the world for generations. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine one year ago upended the global economic and political system, and the scale of human rights violations and devastation cannot continue with impunity.

Open Society has supported democracy in Ukraine since its independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

These people are the future of Ukrainian democracy, and we cannot back down now.
