Providing Ukraine with an Annual Report Card Amidst War – Year FOUR

Date

Event

US-UA Working Group Yearly Summit XIII: Providing Ukraine with an Annual Report Card Amidst War – Year Four was held on June 18, 2025 at the ever elegant University Club in Washington DC.

The forum brought together government and key non-government representatives from Ukraine, Canada, the EU and the US to take measure of Ukraine’s 2024-2025 progress/regress in six traditional categories associated with advanced polities: “democratic governance, mature market economics, energy security, general security, social cohesion and an established yet forbearing national identity” in the face of unwanted conflict on her soil. Additionally, it continued to monitor a vital core question: Does a Free, Stable and Prosperous Ukraine at Peace With Neighbors Still Matter?

To facilitate the said examination, the event ran six panel discussions, four focus sessions and a tally-master report. In total, more than two dozen speakers were featured.
