Ivan was born in Kyiv and partly grew up in the Carpathians. He graduated from secondary school No. 251 and is currently a student at one of the best universities in Ukraine – NaUKMA. He entered the ‘Economics’ specialty because of his interest in this field and his desire to improve Ukraine economically. He considers himself a public activist and is a member of many NGOs such as: ‘Ukrainian Students for Freedom’, ‘Prosvita’, ‘European Youth Parliament’ and leads an active student life in university, being a member of many student organizations.

He joined USF in 2023 on the Leadership Program and learned about the Leadership Program from a friend, quite by chance, when they were walking around the center of Kyiv and talking about politics. From that moment, she convinced him that his values coincided with the USF values.

«USF are the best platform for active youth at the moment.»
