New consul general hosts community leaders

Yuriy Bohaievskiy, Ukraine's new consul general in New York, and his wife, Olha, took advantage of the occasion provided by the New Year (according to the Julian calendar) to host a reception on January 12 for leading members of the Ukrainian community. The purpose of the consul general's reception was to touch base with leading activists and to introduce the staff at Ukraine's Consulate General in New York. Mr. Bohaievskiy conveyed best wishes for the coming year, and expressed his hope that Ukrainians in Ukraine and throughout the world will work together for the good of Ukraine. As well, he underlined that the doors of Ukraine's Consulate General in New York will always be open to all Ukrainians and that he and his staff will strive to assist compatriots with any problems they may face.
