Annual award

“STATEMAN OF THE YEAR” AWARD

February 23, 2023

Parkovy CEC

The annual award “Statesman of the Year” was established by the Kyiv School of Public Administration in 2021. The project aims to show Ukrainians that we have someone to be proud of, namely individuals who have made a significant contribution to the sustainability and development of our country.

Despite the insidious war unleashed by Russia a year ago, Ukrainian statehood has not only remained firm, but has received a powerful impetus for its further strengthening. Today, the idea of the Ukrainian state unites the entire Ukrainian nation as never before. Over the past year, a galaxy of true statesmen and heroes has emerged.

This year’s award ceremony took place on February 23 at the Parkovy Exhibition and Convention Center. The ceremony was attended by Ukrainian politicians, journalists, experts and representatives of civil society.
