AFPC Hosts Ukrainain Parliamentarians

On February 4, the eve of revolutionary unrest in Ukraine, AFPC hosted a lunch for Mr. Oleh Medunytsya, a Member of the Ukrainian Rada (Parliament)and Vice Commander of the Euro-Maidan. Accompanying Mr. Medunytsya was Mr. Volodymyr Shulha, also a Member of the Parliament from an individual mandate district on Ukraine’s border with Russia. Among those attending the very frank, and in retrospect perspicacious, off-the-record discussion were AFPC President, Herman Pichner, Jr., AFPC Senior Fellow for Europe and Eurasia Wayne Merry and AFPC Senior Fellow for Russia, Stephen Blank.

This lunch was one of a series of Ukraine-related activities initiated by AFPC in the past few months. They included numerous briefings and speeches as well as seven op-eds written for the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and other prominent publications.
