Volt Ukraine
Political party in Ukraine
Volt Ukraine (Ukrainian: Вольт Україна, romanized: Volʹt Ukrayina, abbreviated Volt) is a social-liberal political party in Ukraine. It is the Ukrainian branch of Volt Europa, a political movement that operates on a European level.
01History
Volt Ukraine was founded in June 2022 by Mykhaylo Pobigay, who also initially served as chairman. In a post on the Volt Germany website, Pobigay said:
We Ukrainians feel European. Volt gives us the opportunity to be part of the European family and help shape European politics. Here our voice is heard! In these difficult times of war we are fighting for a common European future and all of Volt Europe stands by our side.
In September 2023, Pobigay spoke at the Volt Netherlands Congress in The Hague.
In January 2024, Pobigay stepped down from leadership in Volt Ukraine and was succeeded by Anastasiia Vozovych and Erik Kooijmans as interim co-leaders.
