the shelter/office garage. Source: Kinstellar</em></p><em> </em> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6"> <p>24 February 2022 is a date which marked a flagrant attack on the law. A date we shall not forget. I have no words to further condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, breaching the most sacred principles of international law – territorial integrity and non-aggression. I have no words to express my deep sorrow for the tragedy we are witnessing. I wish to express, with all strength and clarity, my admiration and solidarity with our Ukraine colleagues and with the entirety of Ukraine and its citizenship. I get some relief from the fact that <a href="https://www.ibanet.org/The-IBA-and-Ukraine-a-year-of-collaboration">the IBA has been striving to help Ukraine’s legal profession</a> from the first terrible day of the invasion. We are taking action to support Ukraine on all legal fronts.</p> <p>Now, with this contribution I wish to highlight the courage of our Ukraine colleagues. We may only value the same having knowledge of their experience. Thus, I have invited colleagues from Ukraine to directly explain to us their experience regarding their professional activity in times of war.</p> <p>First, we have <strong>Daniel Bilak</strong>, Chairman of Kinstellar's practice in Ukraine, a lawyer who is still working in Kyiv.</p> </div> </div> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 mb-4"> <iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/800834686" width="640"></iframe></div> <p>The testimonies of <strong>Nazar Chernyavsky</strong>, CEO of Sayenko Kharenko law firm and of <strong>Volodomyr Yakubovskyy</strong>, Partner at Nobles law firm, illustrate the experience of expatriate professionals and how they are helping their country.</p> <div class="row mb-3"> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 mb-md-3"> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 mb-4"> <iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/800841193" width="640"></iframe></div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 mb-md-3"> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 mb-4"> <iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/800837264" width="640"></iframe></div> </div> </div> <p>The war is having a particular impact on female practitioners. We can learn about it from <strong>Galyna Zagorodniuk</strong>, partner in Kinstellar's Kyiv office and <strong>Tatyana Slipachuk</strong>, Special Advisor of Sayenko Kharenko Law Firm.</p> <div class="row mb-3"> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 mb-md-3"> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 mb-4"> <iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/800835940" width="640"></iframe></div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 mb-md-3"> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 mb-4"> <iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/800838239" width="640"></iframe></div> </div> </div> <p>The resistance, resilience and determination of Ukraine’s lawyers is an example for all of us. From the very beginning, they decided to act – despite enormous difficulties – in defence of the rule of law and human rights, maintaining activity and providing legal advice, multiplying their pro bono activity and with the conviction that justice must prevail.</p> <p>I end by expressing my great admiration and respect for our brave Ukraine colleagues. I will endeavour to ensure that the IBA’s focus remains on Ukraine until this brutal war reaches an end.</p> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> </div> </div> </div> <ul class="share"> <li> <a data-href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.ibanet.org/About-the-IBA/Presidency-Blog-Feb-2023" target="_blank" class="fab fa-twitter"></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.ibanet.org/About-the-IBA/Presidency-Blog-Feb-2023" target="_blank" class="fab fa-facebook-f"></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.ibanet.org/About-the-IBA/Presidency-Blog-Feb-2023" target="_blank" class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></a> </li> </ul> </div></div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> </div> <div class="bg-light border-top printOff"> <footer class="py-5"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot"> <div class="yCmsComponent w-100"> <div class="content"><style type="text/css">footer, .footer-bottom {background: #01277a !important;} .footer-bottom p, footer p, footer address ,footer li, footer a, .footer-bottom a {color: #FFFFFF!important;
