The Lithuanian Community in Cyprus, the Community of Ukrainian-Cypriot Friendship, and UKRCY.news are proud to announce the second Civil Resistance Forum, taking place on 26 September 2025 at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia. Strategy International (SI) are proud supporters of the Civil Resistance Forum 2025: Defending Truth, Identity, and Democracy.
This year’s forum brings together diplomats, academics, journalists, and civil society leaders from Cyprus, Lithuania, and Ukraine to address some of today’s most pressing challenges: disinformation, hybrid warfare, and threats to democratic values. Dr. Efthymiopoulos, CEO and Co-Founder of Strategy International will be delivering a key speech on Russia’s War Aims, Ukraine’s Priorities, and Europe’s Divided Voice in 2025.
Key Themes:
- Confronting digital threats: AI, cyber tools, and information security.
- Geopolitical challenges: Russia’s war aims, Ukraine’s priorities, and Europe’s response.
- Narratives and identity: How law, media, and memory shape resistance.
- From war to peace: Lessons from Cyprus and Ukraine.
Featured Contributions:
Opening remarks will be delivered by the Ambassadors of Lithuania and Ukraine, alongside representatives of the Lithuanian community in Cyprus. Experts in cybersecurity, international law, anthropology, and journalism will lead discussions on how societies can defend truth and protect freedoms.
Why It Matters:
Civil resistance today is about more than protests — it is about safeguarding truth, protecting identity, and building resilience in everyday life. Cyprus, with its own history of division and reconciliation, offers a unique setting to share lessons with Ukraine and beyond.
