BREAKING: President Zelenskyy to address The Cambridge Union

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, will be hosted at The Cambridge Union over livestream on Friday 10th June at 5pm.

President Zelenskyy will be addressing several UK universities over a direct stream, with The Cambridge Union included among these. Union President Leti Ryder and President of the Cambridge University Ukrainian Society Oksana Hetman will have the opportunity to ask the President a question live from the Union Chamber.

The Union believes this to be only President Zelenskyy’s second address to a British audience, following his speech to the UK Parliament in March 2022.

The event comes as a result of Ukrainian Ambassador Vadym Prystaiko’s visit to the Cambridge Union, during which Ambassador Prystaiko personally invited the University to meet with the President.

Talked with @BorisJohnson. Told about the situation on the front. Received confirmation of a new enhanced defense support package for 🇺🇦. Raised the issue of intensifying work on security guarantees. Jointly with 🇬🇧 we’re looking for ways to avoid the food crisis & unblock ports.
