Ukraine鈥檚 strong territorial defence owes much to strong sense of civic duty
Russia鈥檚 attack on Ukraine was not unexpected, but its scale surprised many. 鈥淭here was a common expectation of escalation in the East and the South,鈥� says Mykhaylo Petechuk (MBA鈥�13), who has worked for McKinsey & Company in Ukraine. 鈥淏ut no one expected the launch of missiles into every region of the country.鈥�
Ukrainians responded with a strong defence, and, in an interview with Professor听Karl Moore for Forbes.com, Petechuk credits a deep sense of civic solidarity cultivated during galvanizing moments like the Orange Revolution, which protested the rigged 2004 Ukrainian presidential election.
