Elena Pinchuk appealed to the participants of the summit and presented the situation with HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ukraine. She took part in discussing the recommendations in the fight against AIDS worked out by young leaders.
"For many people who came here fight against AIDS became the part of their lives. We spent the whole day hand in hand with HIV-positive teenagers, heads of the biggest international institutions, media, businessmen and young activists from around the world. We are all different but united with desire to live in the world where AIDS would be the history. We got together to discuss what each of us can do to save as many lives as possible and to help people living with HIV. Only when we learn to hear each other we'll be able to make some real changes with the AIDS situation in Ukraine and in the world", - Elena Pinchuk said at the end of the summit.
