Ukrainian Law Professor to Speak on War and Law in Ukraine
Before the discussion tomorrow with First Selectwomen Jen Tooker and Sam Nestor, Fulbright Scholar Ukrainian Law Professor Dmitiry Kamensky will address the war and law in Ukraine.
The horrible three-year war with Russia has shown the determination of the Ukrainian people to keep their homeland independent.
In this short presentation, Professor Kamensky will discuss "War and Law in Ukraine: Anticorruption Policy and Legal Education," showing the critical importance of maintaining the law, confronting corruption, and the need for a solid foundation addressing these and other challenges for Ukrainians to survive as a free society.
