Dmytro Kuleba served as Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2020 to 2024, emerging as a key architect of the country’s wartime foreign policy. As the youngest foreign minister in Ukraine’s history, he played a crucial role in securing international military support and advancing Ukraine’s integration with European and Euro-Atlantic institutions. He is the author of the bestselling book The War for Reality and now holds prominent fellowships at Harvard University, the European Council on Foreign Relations and Sciences Po.

Simon Shuster has reported from Russia and Ukraine for over 15 years, most of that time as a staff writer for Time Magazine. His coverage of the war began in 2014, when he was the first foreign journalist to arrive in Crimea as Russian troops took over the peninsula. In 2019, he met and interviewed Volodymyr Zelensky for a profile of his presidential campaign, then continued covering his administration in the years that followed, first traveling to the war zone with the President in April 2021, as the Russians gathered their armies at the border. When the full-scale invasion began the following year, Simon spent months embedded with the President’s team, securing unparalleled access to their compound in Kyiv, where he wrote The Showman, his first book.
