Athens
Our Foundation operates in Greece since 2012. This is the second period of our work in the country, following the "long" 1980s. Our work began with the sovereign debt crisis, supporting liberal agencies to promote certain reforms that would liberate the economy. It continues on 3 thematic pillars: (a) empowerment of civil society; (b) encouragement and advancement of entrepreneurship; and, (c) support to liberal political projects, especially at the local-municipal level of administration. Additionally, since 2013 we run the Liberal Political Academy, an inclusive program for political education for independent individuals.

This will further exacerbate the migration and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and Europe. Ukraine's military victory will be the factor that will reduce the number of problems caused by Russia.To prevent the worst scenario, Russia must be stopped first and foremost militarily, says Andrii Sukharyna.

Understanding tools and goals of aggressive Putin’s diplomacy toward Ukraine
In the talks with Ukraine, Russia is trying to impose a vague concept of neutrality as the main demand against Ukraine. On the one hand, Moscow refers to examples familiar to Europeans and speaks of an "Austrian" or "Finnish" model of neutrality, regardless of legal diversities and historical context. On the other hand, the Kremlin does not explain in what way it will respect Ukraine's neutrality.
