A Ukrainian delegation led by First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko is on a visit to the United States, in the framework of which Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak visited Washington, New York and Florida.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Ihor Zhovkva held a meeting with Minister for European Affairs of Denmark Marie Bjerre, who arrived in Kyiv as part of a delegation of Danish MEPs led by Vice-President of the European Parliament Christel Schaldemose.

Dariia Zarivna, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President and Chief Operating Officer of Bring Kids Back UA, presented a report to the UN Security Council on systematic gross violations of Ukrainian children's rights: murders, sexual violence, illegal adoptions, and militarization of young Ukrainians committed by Russia during its full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

Latin American nations have extensive experience in fighting for the rescue of children, and Ukraine relies on their voice in bringing home young Ukrainians abducted by the Russian occupiers.

Andriy Yermak noted that such visits are very important, since representatives of different countries can witness and feel firsthand what Ukrainians are going through today in the face of Russia's full-scale aggression.

“We have a common goal – to improve the effectiveness of work on the search, return and reintegration of children. It is also important to document cases of deportation and forced displacement in order to achieve justice. That is why we actively involve Ukrainian civil society in Bring Kids Back UA,” Dariia Zarivna emphasized.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President Ihor Zhovkva held a meeting with State Secretary of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany Thomas Bagger.

Ukraine must implement innovative forms of diplomacy and seek new approaches in international relations, Deputy Head of the Office of the President Ihor Zhovkva stated during the international forum "Diplomacy Today: Ukraine's Role in Global Politics."

Since the beginning of its armed aggression against Ukraine in 2014, Russia has violated more than 400 international agreements, to which Ukraine and Russia are parties, and since 2022 it has ignored 22 fundamental international documents. This was stated by the Head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak, at the international forum “Diplomacy Today: Ukraine's Role in Global Politics.”

In the near future, the Board will hold a series of meetings to determine the key areas of work for the coming year. It will focus on attracting the best foreign experience for Ukraine in education, science and sports, as well as popularizing Ukrainian Studies abroad.
