Experts of the Center for Global Studies "Strategy XXI" Mykhailo Gonchar and Oksana Ishchuk, as part of the project "Strengthening analytical decision-making capabilities in the field of foreign policy with the help of civil society", which is implemented by the Center for International Security in partnership with the Ukrainian expert community with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Ukraine, created an analytical material "Ukrainian Minerals in Global Supply Chains: Challenges and Opportunities."

*The material was developed specifically for the website of the Center for International Security, where it was first published.
