Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk met with well-known Canadian philanthropist James Temerty and representatives of the Atlantic Council and Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter initiative.

The PM highly appreciated the outstanding efforts taken by James Temerty to support civil society in Ukraine, as well as his strong decisive actions aimed at the consolidation of the international community to protect the freedom and independence of our country.

Mr. Temerty and other participants noted the ordeals facing Ukraine, underlining the support for reform policy being undertaken in our country.

Special attention was focused on the issues of preservation of national memory and, in particular, the matter regarding national and international preparations for the Babi Yar tragedy commemoration in 2016. The parties discussed cooperation in countering Russian propaganda, which is particularly dangerous part of the Kremlin's aggression against Ukraine, as well as the entire free world and civilized relations between states.
