International Center
for Ukrainian Victory

About us
We are civil society leaders advocating internationally for everything Ukraine needs to win the war with russia
For us, Ukrainian victory implies:
More than to years ago Ukrainian civil society leaders Daria Kaleniuk, Hanna Hopko, Olena Halushka and Aivazovska Olga established the ICUV together with Katarzyna Pisarska Fundacja im. Kazimierza Pułaskiego. We already have tangible achievements that showcase the impact of our dedicated advocacy for Ukraine’s interests. We continue to seek new allies around the world, building international support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom and justice. We are grateful to all our colleagues and partners with whom we fought side by side. There is still a lot of work ahead of us, but we are sure that we will win together!
To achieve Ukrainian victory ASAP, provide Ukraine with F16 fighter jets and long-range missiles now so that Ukraine can win the war to prevent the spread of russian aggression; recognize russia as a terrorist state, since it is one; strengthen sanctions against ROSATOM because russia’s missiles attack energy infrastructure and threaten the entire world with nuclear catastrophe; initiate the seizure of russian assets to the Ukrainian budget so that we can continue to defeat the aggressor.
The #MAKERUSSIAPAY Conference took place in Kyiv, featuring three panels: MAKE RUSSIA PAY, Bankrupt Russia War Machine: introducing WAR TAX on Russian LNG, and Sustainable & Accountable Mechanism for Using Seized Russian Funds: Introducing Ukraine Restitution & Reconstruction Bank. We want to thank to Matsuda Kuninori, the Ambassador of Japan to Ukraine, Katarína Mathernová, the EU Representative in Ukraine, Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, all the other speakers, guests and the journalists for attending the conference. Ukraine’s victory is only possible through collective efforts.
Through comprehensive research, face-to-face meetings with politicians, activists, and influential people; public events, press conferences, demonstra- tions, and other advocacy tools; working as an international advocacy umbrella for many national Ukrainian organizations and elaborating systematic solutions to current problems and future development of Ukraine, we aim to support our country on its way to victory in war with Russia and preparing the post -victory reform and reconstruction agenda.
On October 1-2, 2024, the Warsaw Security Forum became a significant platform for addressing international security challenges, particularly regarding Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. The ICUV team, including Hanna Hopko, Daria Kaleniuk, Iryna Krasnoshtan, Viktoriya Voytsitska and Vlada Dumenko actively worked to highlight Ukraine’s critical issues.
