The event was attended by applicants of educational programmes “Public Administration” and "Municipal Management", as well as representatives of the Faculty of Economics, Management and Psychology and the Faculty of International Trade and Law.

During his speech, Mr. Leonid outlined the main challenges faced by the agricultural sector of Ukraine during the war, and also emphasized the resilience shown by farmers even in the most difficult conditions. He emphasized that despite numerous destructions and losses, the agricultural sector continues to remain strategically important for the country’s economy, maintaining food security and export potential. The special attention was paid to issues of international cooperation and support from European partners, as well as the need to introduce innovative technologies in the agricultural sector of Ukraine.

A separate block of the lecture was the prospects of the post-war restoration of the agrarian industry. The lecturer shared his thoughts on future investments, modernization of agricultural enterprises, restoration of infrastructure and introduction of the latest technologies that can accelerate the revival of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine.

The meeting aroused considerable interest among those present and was accompanied by a lively discussion among students who asked questions in Ukrainian and English about real steps to ensure the country’s food security and overcome the economic consequences of the war. The speaker willingly answered questions, noting the importance of active participation of young people in the reconstruction of the country.

The event became not only a source of new knowledge, but also a platform for exchanging ideas about the future of the Ukrainian agricultural sector in the post-war reconstruction.

We are sincerely grateful to Leonid Kozachenko for the motivational meeting and useful advice to our students.
