Together, we developed international partnerships, identified new opportunities for collaboration, and ensured that Suspilne’s voice and expertise were heard on the international stage. I am sincerely grateful to my colleagues for their trust and support. And although my professional journey continues in a different field, I remain a great supporter of Suspilne and its mission,” says Valeriya Bezpala.
