Ukraine's struggle for freedom

Ukrainas kamp for frihet - Ambassadøren - Øvelse Nord 2025
Ukraine's struggle for freedom
Oleksiy Gavrysh, Ukraine's ambassador to Norway, gives an open lecture about the war in his home country.

In his lecture, Gavrysh will talk about the realities of the war; about mistakes that have been made, lessons learned and how these are useful for Norway. The audience has the opportunity to ask questions.

About the ambassador:

Oleksiy Gavrysh was appointed Ambassador Plenipotentiary by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyj, on 7 April 2025.

Gavrysh has over 20 years of experience in strategic management within energy and finance. In 2022, he became the chairman of LLC "Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine" (Naftogaz) with 56,000 employees. During the three years of war, Gavrysh has been responsible for the gas supplies in Ukraine and ensured heat in the homes of 12 million residences.

At the start of the war, Gavrysh volunteered for the army and fought in the war until he was appointed to the position in Naftogaz.
