The opening of the 14th Yalta European Strategy (YES) meeting will take place at Besarabsky Marker in the downtown of Kyiv for the first time. YES was founded by businessmen Viktor Pinchuk in 2004 and usually took place in Livadia Palace in Yalta but after the annexation of Crimea, it was relocated to the capital of Ukraine.
According to the organizers, the selection of the Besarabsky Marker as the place of the forum’s opening demonstrates the Ukrainian diversity.
