Today, May 9, 2025, within the walls of the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, an extraordinary event took place: a master class for higher education students of our university was conducted by an outstanding scholar in the field of international law, Doctor of Juridical Sciences, Professor, Honored Lawyer of Ukraine, Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Foreign Policy and Interparliamentary Cooperation. Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Merezhko.

Students, graduate students, staff, and scientific-pedagogical employees of Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and its separate divisions in the cities of Rivne, Vinnytsia, Lviv, and Uzhhorod today received a unique opportunity to get detailed information from the primary source about the agreement between Ukraine and the USA on subsoil, minerals, and rare earth metals, ratified the day before, on May 8, 2025, by the Parliament of Ukraine, from the report of Oleksandr Merezhko on the topic: “Agreement between Ukraine and the USA on Subsoil: Realities and Prospects”.

The relevance of the report topic by the Member of Parliament of Ukraine upon its completion sparked a flurry of questions, which the attendees in a hybrid format at the scientific event—higher education students and staff of the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and its separate structural divisions—had the exclusive opportunity to ask the speaker, which, in turn, led to an active scientific discussion.

At the end of the scientific and educational event, the rector of the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, professor, Honored Lawyer of Ukraine, spoke. Yuriy Boshytskyi, who summed up the meeting, thanked the speaker and the participants, noting that today’s master class, conducted by the esteemed guest of our university, became another in the series of events aimed at reviving the glorious tradition of the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine regarding the implementation of the university’s creative project ‘Dialogues of Famous Personalities with Students of Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.’ The event took place with the support of the university’s partner.
