Climate change in the face of war: Ukraine’s complex crisis
Ukraine’s crisis isn't about the conflict alone; it has also created devastating ecological impacts that continue to threaten people and animals within and beyond its borders.
Daria joined the Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord (VWB/VSF) team in June 2023, bringing over 7 years of experience in managing international development projects in Ukraine. Her expertise lies in fostering community cohesion, promoting civil society development, advancing regional economic growth, democratic governance, and emphasizing a strong focus on inclusion and diversity.
Daria holds an MA in East European Studies from Free University Berlin and a BA in International Relations from Kyiv International University. Prior to joining VWB/VSF, she worked in various US Government-funded programs and UN agencies.
Daria is based in Lviv, Ukraine. In her free time, she enjoys spending quality moments with her dog, family and friends, reading and traveling.
