#Kyiv

Nobel Prize-winning economist James Robinson visited Kyiv in March for his first trip as a laureate. Invited by Investment group ICU and the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), Robinson delivered several lectures, sharing his insights on Ukraine’s journey toward Europe and its crucial role in the global landscape.

The city of Irpin, just outside Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, was one of the first major targets of Russia’s full-scale invasion—and for a month, it stood as a battleground under occupation.

The full scale of Russian atrocities in Bucha, known as the Bucha massacre, surfaced only after its liberation on March 31, 2022—bodies in the streets, mass graves, homes reduced to rubble. But this isn’t just a story of devastation. On one street, residents have been reclaiming their town step by step—burying their dead and rebuilding their lives.
