Maksym has always stood up for the marginalised and for prisoners of conscience. As he did in 1990, he has voiced his support for freedom fearlessly.

maksym is quintessential ukraine. soft-spoken, quite, kind man, but with a resolute and valor that radiates off him. he spent his life tirelessly defending human rights in ukraine — for anyone, including migrants. there wasn't a single call he hasn't answered. 24/7.
when the genocide started i wasn't surprised maksym was one of the first to enlist to defend us on the frontline. as other of our finest, brightest, most brilliant ukrainians, he instantly knew the stakes — we are defending not just our territory, but our civilization, our values
