ULA Kyiv became one of the Ukrainian Leadership Academy’s five branches opened in September 2016. During the 2016-2017 academic year, 40 students aged between 16 and 20 years studied at the Academy’s Kyiv branch. These students hail from 17 (out of 25) regions of Ukraine, including the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts and the AR of Crimea. Therefore, ULA Kyiv represents almost the entire Ukraine.
