Dmytro Kuleba graduated in international law from the Taras Shevchenko National University.[1]
Career
Kuleba has worked for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2003. In 2013 he left the civil Service to head the UART Foundation for Cultural Diplomacy.[2]
He took active part in the Euromaidan protests in 2013–2014.

Ukraine and NATO
In April 2023, Kuleba wrote an article in Foreign Affairs, the house organ of the Council on Foreign Relations, on Why NATO Must Admit Ukraine: "But it falls to Ukraine and its Western partners to bring the conflict to an end, winning a just victory that guarantees peace and stability in Europe for generations to come. Doing so requires accepting the inevitable: that Ukraine will become a NATO member, and sooner rather than later."[4]
