Where Are Ukraine’s Oligarchs Now? Power, Projects, and Political Futures

Once the country’s kingmakers, Ukraine’s oligarchs have seen their fortunes and influence curtailed by war, sanctions, and political reform. Yet they remain far from irrelevant.

This KI Insights briefing, drawing on original analysis by political expert Anatoliy Oktysiuk, explores where Ukraine’s major oligarchs stand today – financially, politically, and geographically – and examines how they may seek to re-enter political life as the landscape evolves.

Format: Online, in English. The event will include a presentation by KI Insights and a candid Q&A session.

Date: Thursday, October 23, 2025

Time: 16:30 Kyiv time (15:30 in Brussels, 14:30 in London,  9:30 in Washington D.C.) Expected duration – 75 minutes.
