VMU Graduate Anna Romanenko: Ukraine Will Win, It’s a Matter of Time
“Lithuanians are realists regarding Russia. All of this is already familiar to you: you have faced it as well, and you also fought for your independence and you have a very similar history. You feel it when you talk to any Lithuanians and you say: “I’m from Ukraine”. That’s all that is needed. Unfortunately, the Western world still sees Russia not as a threat, they think: “Everything will be alright. Conflict will end and we will live in the same world that we lived in before”. That is the biggest problem”, Anna Romanenko, Ukrainian graduate of Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), says. Currently, she is working at the non-profit association Global Lithuanian Leaders, where she is managing the Boycott Russia campaign.
