The Run for Freedom charity run, organized by Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) students and Professor Timothy Snyder, is set to take place in Ky, on September 13. The event, which is in its second year, aims to support the release of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians held in captivity. Registration for the advocacy run, which will be joined by Snyder, is now open.
Professor Snyder, an American historian and public intellectual, has been a vocal advocate for the release of captive Ukrainians and has used his platform to raise awareness about the treatment of prisoners of war. His involvement in this year’s event underscores the significance of the cause and the growing international attention it has garnered.
The run is part of a broader movement of civil society initiatives in Ukraine, reflecting the resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of ongoing conflict. Organizers emphasize the importance of solidarity and collective action in addressing the humanitarian crisis caused by the war.
