Corruption is a collective trauma rooted in the Holodomor. Have you ever considered corruption in Ukraine from this perspective — a legacy of the collective trauma of the Holodomor that we have struggled to eradicate for so long?
We invite you to reflect on this topic on December 5 at the XIII Civil Society Development Forum (with)STAND, during the panel discussion on the Cost of Corruption During the War: Redefining the Social Contract as a Condition for Survival.
The panel will feature Andrii Zelinskyi, a military chaplain and priest of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Chair of the Supervisory Board of the Ukrainian Veterans Fund, lecturer at the Ukrainian Catholic University, and co-founder of the Ukrainian Leadership Academy.
Corruption is a deeply rooted issue in many areas of Ukrainian life, undermining the foundations of public trust. During wartime, this problem becomes even more acute, as every hryvnia and resource must contribute to victory. War renders corruption not just morally unacceptable but dangerously lethal.
Discussing corruption is the first step toward understanding its causes, which may run deeper than we are accustomed to thinking.
Join us at the Forum and do not miss the chance to be part of this vital conversation. It promises to be both enlightening and practical.
