Daria Kaleniuk

Daria Kaleniuk is a Ukrainian civil society activist who is the executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Center, based in Kyiv.[1][2][3] During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kaleniuk came to international media prominence when she asked British prime minister Boris Johnson at a press conference in Warsaw why some London-based Russian oligarchs had not been targeted with sanctions and why he did not support the establishment of a no-fly zone over Ukraine.[4][5]

Kaleniuk was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine and studied law at the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University[6] and has a Master of Financial Services Law from Chicago-Kent College of Law, supported by the Fulbright Foreign Student Program.[2][7] She is a member of the Young Global Leaders.[8]
