In Ukraine, a political initiative known as SD Platform – an alternative voice in a political landscape otherwise dominated by the centre – works to advance democracy, social justice, and human rights in the country. Following the first-ever EUkraine Summit – the largest gathering of progressive forces in Ukraine to date, co-organised by the Palme Center – SD Platform has grown stronger.In the midst of Russia’s full-scale war, the Palme Center’s partner SD Platform brought together European social democrats in Kyiv for the first EUkraine Summit – the largest gathering of progressive forces in Ukraine to date.
The summit marked an important step in the work to build a strong progressive movement – with the aim of forming a new political party.
The Palme Center co-organised the summit, and participated with a Swedish delegation.
By strengthening progressive forces, the collaboration helps to promote a political alternative, where reconstruction is not just about investment and infrastructure but also about democracy, social justice and human rights.
SD Platform is an important progressive voice in a political landscape long dominated by the centre and the right.
By bringing together civil society, trade unions, the public sector and academia, they are working towards a society built on freedom, justice and solidarity, and for a just reconstruction of Ukraine.
