Ukraine’s Resilience is Shaping Global Recovery and Moral Leadership
War in Ukraine continues to shape global security and humanitarian response, as lessons from the conflict spread beyond Europe. Andrew Moroz, founder of the Renewal Initiative, says Ukraine’s resilience offers a model for rebuilding and leadership even as the war continues.
Moroz was born in Kyiv when it was part of the Soviet Union and immigrated to the United States as a child. His parents remained connected to Ukraine and believed in its eventual rebuilding. His father regularly led mission teams to the country before his death. Moroz says that legacy shaped his own decision to return after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, when he began traveling back and forth to deliver aid and support local partners.
