Volt Ukraine (Ukrainian: Вольт Україна, romanized: Volʹt Ukrayina, abbreviated Volt) is a social-liberal political party in Ukraine.[8] It is the Ukrainian branch of Volt Europa, a political movement that operates on a European level.
Volt Ukraine was founded in July 2022 by Mykhaylo Pobigay, who also serves as chairman.[9] In a post on Volt's website, Pobigay said:
We Ukrainians feel European. Volt gives us the opportunity to be part of the European family and help shape European politics. Here our voice is heard! In these difficult times of war we are fighting for a common European future and all of Volt Europe stands by our side.[10]
