Cafe Kyiv 2026

Save the date and call for applications

Russia is still waging its brutal war of aggression against Ukraine and thus also against democracy. ‘We must not,’ as Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner emphasised at Cafe Kyiv 2024, ‘be speechless, we must not stand by and watch’ – we stand with Ukraine! For this reason, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, together with numerous partner organisations, is hosting Cafe Kyiv for the fourth time on Monday, 23 February 2026.

The Middle East after the terrorist attacks of 7 October

Visit of Dr. Gerhard Wahlers to Israel and the Palestinian Territories
