We cordially invite you to an in-depth conver\u00adsation with Maksym Butkevych<\/strong>, one of Ukraine\u2019s most prominent human rights defenders, on justice, human rights, and the future of Ukraine and Europe.<\/p>\n

Maksym Butkevych will share his experience of spending more than two years in Russian captivity, where he was subjected to a fabri\u00adcated trial and unjust impris\u00adonment. He will also provide insight into state\u00adments made by his Russian captors, who asserted that Russia\u2019s aggression would not stop with Ukraine but extend to other European countries. This discussion will also address the situation of illegally detained civilians and Ukrainian prisoners of war, highlighting why their fate is not only a Ukrainian concern but a broader inter\u00adna\u00adtional issue. Furthermore, we will explore the current state of human rights in Ukraine. We will also discuss the book \u201cAm richtigen Platz: Ein ukrainischer Frieden\u00adsak\u00adtivist im Krieg\u201d (202<\/em>4, Anthea Verlag), which contains texts by Maksym Butkevych. The book will be available for purchase at the event.<\/p>\n

The discussion will be moderated by Oleksandra Bienert<\/strong> (Head of the Board, Alliance of Ukrainian Organi\u00adza\u00adtions) and will be held in English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Welcome speech:<\/strong> Prof Christoph Markschies, Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities<\/p>\n

Organizers:<\/strong> Center for Liberal Modernity and Alliance of Ukrainian Organi\u00adza\u00adtions (Germany) in Cooper\u00adation with KIU Compe\u00adtence Network Inter\u00addis\u00adci\u00adplinary Ukrainian Studies Frankfurt (Oder) \u2014 Berlin and Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.<\/p>\n

We look forward to your partic\u00adi\u00adpation in this important discussion.<\/p>\n


\nAbout Maksym Butkevych<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maksym Butkevych has been a leading human rights advocate in Ukraine for over a decade, fighting against discrim\u00adi\u00adnation and for the rights of refugees and migrants. End of February 2022, he volun\u00adtarily joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces. On June 24, 2022, he was captured by the Russian army in the Luhansk region and later sentenced to 13 years in prison based on fabri\u00adcated charges. After signif\u00adicant inter\u00adna\u00adtional pressure and advocacy, Maksym was finally released on October 18, 2024, as part of a prisoner exchange involving 95 Ukrainian defenders.<\/p>\n

Since his release, Maksym has resumed his human rights work, focusing on protecting the rights of illegally detained civilians and prisoners of war, countering Russian propa\u00adganda and hate speech, and reforming Ukraine\u2019s migration policies. He is a member of the Expert Council of the Center for Civil Liberties and serves on the executive council of PEN Ukraine.<\/p>\n
