As part of the visit to Chile by a high-level delegation from the Ukrainian Prism think tank, AthenaLab organized an intensive agenda of activities that included a meeting at the Strategic Planning Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, participation in the seminar “80 Years Since World War II,” and a working breakfast with media representatives.

The delegation included Executive Director Hennadiy Maksak; Director of the Security Studies Program, Dr. Hanna Shelest; Director of the Brussels Office Olga Chyzhova; and Analyst for Latin American Affairs, Ivan Fechko.

During the visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ukrainian experts were able to report on the current state of the conflict in Ukraine and its possible future scenarios, which is key for Chile to continue reaffirming its clear position of condemnation of Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion. This stance was adopted by President Sebastián Piñera in February 2022 and has been maintained by President Gabriel Boric.

AthenaLab and Ukrainian Prism signed a memorandum of understanding last November, which opened the door for cooperation initiatives such as those conducted this week and to plan future activities.

We hereby provide the document “Ukraine-Chile: A New Stage of Transatlantic Cooperation,” prepared by Ivan Fechko for his visit to the country.
