Gov. Holcomb strengthens ties with Ukraine
SEPTEMBER 9, 2024
Gov. Holcomb became the first U.S. governor to visit Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in February 2022
Kyiv, Ukraine – Governor Eric J. Holcomb spent the day in Ukraine to demonstrate Indiana’s solidarity. Discussions with Ukrainian leadership surrounding future partnerships and fostering growth in economic development, academic and cultural relations.
Gov. Holcomb and Pres. Zelenskyy met in the presidential office of Ukraine and discussed the importance of subnational cooperation.
Gov. Holcomb and Gov. Bunechko of Zhytomyr Oblast signed an MOU focused on academic, cultural, and economic ties. Indiana’s high profile in agriculture, higher education, and manufacturing has much in common with Zhytomyr, and we expect years of beneficial collaboration.

While in Kyiv, Gov. Holcomb paid respects at the Wall of Remembrance, which honors those who have lost their lives during the Russian invasion.
This marks Gov. Holcomb’s 25th international economic development trip as governor and his first trip to Ukraine. The cost of the governor’s travel is being paid through private donations to the Indiana Economic Development Foundation.
