28.04.25 Mykhailo Minakov (European University Viadrina), Membership in the EU: Perspectives of Ukrainian elites and society Since 2014, Ukraine has paid — and continues to pay — a significant price for its European choice. But who or what influenced this choice? How did various social groups perceive the European perspective during different periods of contemporary Ukrainian history? What achievements have been realized so far? Mykhailo Minakov will provide answers to these questions. He will examine the evolution of Ukrainians’ views on Europe and the European Union and offer insights into how a society can make a historical choice.
