KYIV – A round table discussion was held at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy on the topic “Successful Career and Christian Values,” organized by the Christian student organization Obnova and the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, reports the press service of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC).
