| Time | LOCATION | Speaker | topic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11:00 AM | Kyiv | – Mykola Trofymenko, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine (in person) | 2025 Ukraine’s 2025 University admissions: Results and what comes next Key topics: – How many new students enrolled across Ukraine this year? – Key takeaways and possible updates to the 2026 admission rules. |
| 14:00 | Kyiv | – Vadym Denysenko, Head of the Dilova Stolytsia Analytical Center (in person) | Half a step toward peace in Ukraine: Is it within reach? Key topics: – Outcomes of the recent talks between Kyiv and Washington; – Trump and Putin’s negotiations in Budapest: what Ukraine should anticipate; – Tomahawk missile deliveries: are they feasible at this stage? – China’s stance amid Washington’s shift in tone. Why is it important? The third meeting between Presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump at the White House, one Kyiv hoped would secure Tomahawk missile transfers, ended without a breakthrough. The talks came shortly after Trump spoke with vladimir putin and announced a new U.S.-russia summit in Budapest. What could Ukraine face following that meeting, and is Washington edging toward an uneven peace deal? |
| 16:00 | Kyiv | Center for Civil Liberties | Expert discussion: Judicial recognition of the death of military personnel and civilians – how the process works and where it falls short Key topics: – Why families seek court rulings to declare missing relatives dead while the state still lists them as missing; – The legal impact of such rulings; – How courts handle these petitions and what current case law shows; – Whether a court decision affects ongoing searches; – Common mistakes families make when filing petitions; – How the state can better support families and prevent retraumatization. Why is it important? Ukraine’s Unified Register of Persons Missing Under Special Circumstances currently lists about 70,000 missing service members and civilians. The registry is maintained under the Law of Ukraine on the Legal Status of Persons Missing Under Special Circumstances. At the same time, the Civil Code of Ukraine allows courts to declare a person missing or deceased. Thousands of families have already pursued court rulings to formally recognize fallen service members as deceased, even though their names remain in the state’s official list of missing persons.
