Arseniy Yatsenyuk mentioned that since the start of the full-scale war the “Open Ukraine” Foundation holds the first wartime Youth Kyiv Security Forum. And this is the 10th Youth KSF. Mr. Yatsenyuk stressed that the name of this Forum – Generation W. – was not just about war generation: “Generation W – is not solely war generation. Generation W – is generation of warriors. Generation W – is generation of winners, generation of those who will prevail. And it is you who represent this generation”, - the KSF Chair addressed the Forum participants.

The KSF Chair also emphasized that this Forum “will become the rostrum for all who fight for Ukraine today and for those who will restore Ukraine tomorrow”.

He reminded the audience that the Forum results, inter alia, include two documents drawn by the Forum participants – namely, letters to NATO and the Ukrainian Government underlining the importance of Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance: “You enjoy fantastic opportunities to make the voice of Ukrainian Youth be heard by the entire world, vocally stating the importance of Ukraine’s accession to NATO, and of what must be done to attain this objective alongside the accession to the EU”.

This country’s history demonstrates a lot of dramatic pages: “Each of us wills today to attain the historic victory of Ukraine. And I wish that together with all our allies we draw lessons from what has been happening earlier”.

“I remain certain that all young people present here share their vision, and we shall escape any repetition of yet another Budapest Memorandum or Bucharest-2008”, - Arseniy Yatsenyuk emphasized.

“We should draw lessons. We should move on to ensure victory of Ukraine and that of all civilized world. My expectations rely on Ukrainian Armed Forces. My expectations rely on each one of you. This country’s expectations mean certainty that we shall prevail in this just war. And Generation W will indeed become the Generation of winners. I have every confidence in this”, - Arseniy Yatsenyuk said.
