Dear Kyiv Independent community members,

Thank you to those who were able to join us for our most recent community event: a Q&A about U.S. elections and how the results could impact Ukraine with our New York-based reporter Owen Racer and business editor Liliane Bivings.

Owen and Lili answered your questions about what a Harris presidency or a Trump presidency might mean for Ukraine, the stances of the Democratic and Republican parties towards Ukraine and NATO in the past, and Ukraine’s efforts to lobby the U.S. government.

You can read Owen’s most recent story covering the Democratic National Convention in Chicago here.

If you have any ideas for topics you’d like to see in our next community events, you can reach out to us at community@kyivindependent.com.
