Today, LB.ua, together with EFI Group, brought together experts and thought leaders for another session of the Nova Krayina project.

The topic of discussion — “Ukrainian Society 2026: Demographics, Migration, Labor Market.” This is a conversation about a future that is already being shaped today by the decisions of the government, business, and society.

Speakers:

  • Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine
  • Ella Libanova, Director of the Ptoukha Institute for Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
  • Arsen Makarchuk, Head of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine
  • Maryana Betsa, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine
  • Cyril Hovorun, Director of the Huffington Ecumenical Institute (USA)
  • Ihor Liski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, EFI Group
  • Sonya Koshkina, Editor-in-Chief, LB.ua

We are discussing what matters most: how Ukraine’s population is changing, the key challenges facing the labor market, and the solutions that are needed today.

As is the tradition of Nova Krayina, this is not only a series of speeches, but an open, interactive discussion with the audience.

Stay tuned for updates — video recordings and materials from the event will soon be available on the LB.ua platform.
