"20 Jahre Kyjiwer Gespräche – deutsch-ukrainisches Gesprächsforum" Mit viel Dank an Peter Sawicki und DLF Kultur für diesen Beitrag: www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/20-jahre-kyj...

We are deeply grateful to all guests, colleagues, partners, friends, and allies who joined us in celebrating 20 years of Kyiv Dialogue and contributed to the discussions this past two days. Special thanks to @boell.de and its amazing team for co-hosting the 20th #kyivdialogue.

"You cannot buy security. Innovation is happening so fast at the moment, you cannot think about security as a physical object. It requires a much broader approach. This is where Europe can learn from Ukraine", Oleksii Dorogan, Executive Director, Better Regulation Delivery Office BRDO #kyivdialogue

"We see quite good experiences in cooperation between Ukraine and EU in defence. Programs like SAFE provide good stimulus for countries that are not directly threatened by Russia to procure for Ukraine" @lukmas1986.bsky.social at the 20th #kyivdialogue

"Discussions about “drone wall” instead of “drone shield” together with Ukraine shows how Europe thinks security. Buying a lot of interceptors and hoping to shoot down drones over your heads is not sufficient. We should discuss joint defence." Yulia Marushevska at 20th #kyivdialogue

🔴 Now live. 20th #kyivdialogue closing panel on "Security and mutual support between Ukraine and EU". Join us here: www.youtube.com/live/bp9wkuG...

"We lost many media outlets, but we preserved journalism. Information has always been perceived as a free service. Now that information is crucial to survive, this perception is changing" - Olha Myrovych at the @ecpmf.bsky.social hosted panel at 20th #kyivdialogue

🔴 We are back live at 20th #kyivdialogue for the panel "Ukrainian Media and Journalism in the Fourth Year of the Great War - Challenges and Perspectives" hosted by @ecpmf.bsky.social. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/bp9wkuG...

"The full-scale war has become a test. Communities organised territorial defence, helped people, sustained businesses, and kept life going. Decentralisation is not a risk, it is Ukraine's strength." - Ihor Onishuk, Polaris programme "Supporting Multilevel Governance in Ukraine" at #kyivdialogue

🔴 Now live from @boell.de: Day 2 of 20th #kyivdialogue. Join the panel "Decentralisation vs. Re-centralisation: State of local democracy in wartimes" here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgFN...

2nd day of Kyiv Dialogue starting now: Panel on State of Local Democracy at times of war - follow online youtu.be/xgFND9TNfNQ

"Last year, Lublin built 4 shelters in Sumy. This is a strange gift, but needed. The recovery should be from community to community, done in tri- or even quadrilateral cooperation. Help colleagues from EU to understand Ukraine and vice versa." - Krzysztof Stanowski at 20th #kyivdialogue

"Due to decentralisation, we had resources and power. State bodies could not decide anything without consulting us first. This reform was exactly the reason we were able to help our armed forces to defend us." - Vitalii Yukov, Dep. Mayor of Mykolaiv at 20th #kyivdialogue

"Important now, and important in recovery is not only the dialogue between Merz and Zelenskyy, but this is the dialogue on other levels: business to business, local community to local community." - Ulrike Hopp-Nishank, Head of Task Force Ukraine at @bmz.de at 20th #kyivdialogue

"When the war starts, you feel tempted to believe everything gets centralized. But scratch a little bit and you will see again and again that the real power comes from the bottom." - Dmytro Kuleba, fmr Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine at #kyivdialogue

"In November 2004, I received a telephone call from Katja Petrovskaja. She told me “Stefanie – there is a revolution going on in Ukraine. Nobody in Germany understands what that means. We have to do something." - Stefanie Schiffer on the founding idea of @kyivdialogue.bsky.social

We are live at 20th #kyivdialogue now with Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany @makeiev.bsky.social. Join here: www.youtube.com/live/M1NC_bg...

"The base of a state at war lies in the decisions made daily by its communities. Ukraine’s resilience grows from the bottom up—not the other way around." Dmytro Kuleba, fmr Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Join his keynote today. We are live from 4.30 PM: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/en/annual-co...

Russia’s war is spilling deeper into Europe. Drones over Poland, airspace breaches in Estonia, Airport forced to shut down. In our latest issue, we unpack September’s escalation and the revived talk of a Ukraine no-fly zone – now available in English! www.kyiv-dialogue.org/uk/novini/ne...

Russlands Raketenvorräte wachsen. Jährlich landen mehr ballistische Raketen im russischen Arsenal als Europa an Interceptoren weltweit beschaffen kann. Was bedeutet das für die Verteidigung der Ukraine und die Sicherheit Europas? Jetzt lesen auf: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/news/news...

All eyes on the Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska. While Putin may look open to talks, Russia’s air war on 🇺🇦 is at its most brutal: 6,300+ drones hit cities in July alone, and over 6,700 civilians killed or injured in 2025. New Air War Monitor Vol. VII: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/uk/novini/ne...

Ukrainian recovery must start from the ground up — and that means funding, planning, and decisions must include those closest to the communities. We hosted a roundtable on the sidelines of the URC2025 in Rome. Have a look: www.kyiv-dialogue.org/de/news/news...

Aligning international assistance with local priorities can significantly enhance recovery efforts. We had the honour of chairing a joint event with GMF and ALDA on local resilience & recovery, EU's Ukraine facility, and local self-government. Rewatch the discussion here: youtu.be/qiOa3XUkIEA
