A delegation of doctors from Muscatine’s Ukrainian sister city, Drohobych, will share the history and politics of this eastern European nation. What is Ukraine’s relationship with Russia? What is the current political climate? Find out in this fascinating presentation.

The three doctors all come from Drohobych, Muscatine’s Sister City in the Urkaine. They include: Oleksander Slabyy (chief doctor of the region and urologist), Roman Kutsii (surgeon) and Oleh Shykoriak (surgeon).  Also, with them will be Ukrainian businessman Roman Beizyk.
