Description
Learn about the situation on the ground in Ukraine. Join us for an insightful discussion with 2 people who have been there.
Ukrainian-American and Ridgefield resident Ross Voytovych returned in August from a trip to Ukraine. He’ll share pictures and perspectives on the reality of what he saw and heard. Ross travelled to Lviv, in western Ukraine and then on to the capital city, Kyiv. While in Ukraine, Ross spoke with family and friends, some of whom were on the frontlines or had just returned. While in Kyiv, he travelled to Bucha and Irpin, the two towns on the northern outskirts of Kyiv, which were destroyed during the early months of the Russian invasion.
Ross will be joined by Westport native and New York-based FinTech executive Brian Meyer, who recently returned from the Polish-Ukrainian border where he volunteered for 3 months providing support for refugees at the border and delivering humanitarian aid to the frontline. Brian has first-hand perspectives on the humanitarian situation and the urgent needs.
