Yevheniia’s been a USF activist since 2024. She’s originally from a small town in Poltava region, where she graduated from school and university in Poltava with a degree in International Economic Relations. International Business, and after graduation, she dropped everything and moved to her beloved Lviv, where she’s now a resident of the centre. Throughout her life, she’s travelled extensively and even studied as an exchange student in Istanbul. Since her university years were spent in the Covid and wartime, she believes that it’s never too late to become part of active youth and help change your country for the better.

Before joining the USF, I’d never have thought that I’d ever find such a large community, where people are completely different, each with their own personality, but where it’s so easy to communicate with everyone, where everyone is an incredibly intelligent and interesting person, where you can be unafraid to be yourself, real, because you are accepted here. And most importantly, all these people are active young people, the future of the country, united by the struggle for freedom in all its manifestations and in all possible ways.

Freedom is what makes us human, what enables us to live a fulfilling and happy life.
