About panel discussion:

Ukraine is a diverse country with more than 100 national minorities (communities) whose members are victims of the full-scale invasion of Russia as much as the members of the majority population. 

Roma, Crimean Tatars, North Azovian Greeks, Hungarians, Koreans or persons from many other communities are fighting at the frontline as Jews and Muslims are defending the country together with their Christian and Atheist neighbours. Somehow, the full-scale invasion of Russia brought the majority and communities closer together, instead of dividing them – as it looks like another miscalculation of Russia.   

However, specific problems remain for the communities which often compound the problems faced by the majority population. Representatives of the Roma,  Crimean Tatar, and the North Azovian Greek community will talk about the current situation and the expectations to the international community and the Government of Ukraine.
