Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was the keynote speaker on Saturday at the Black Sea Security Forum in Odessa, Ukraine.
As President Trump continues to push for peace negotiations in the Ukraine-Russian War, former CIA Director Mike Pompeo flew to Ukraine to push “complete victory” over the Russian people in his talk this weekend at the Black Sea Security Forum.
The former CIA Director delivered a ten-minute speech before he sat and answered questions with Oleksii Goncharenko MP, Chairman of the Black Sea Security Forum, Ukraine, for another 19 minutes.
The Kyiv Post reported on the conference which is in its second year.
The Black Sea Security Forum in Odesa, initiated by a group of Ukrainian parliamentarians in 2024 under the leadership of Oleksii Goncharenko, has become the first and largest geopolitical event in southern Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022. It brings together key figures from national governments, international institutions and the expert community. This year’s event, whose main sponsor was Lord Ashcroft, took place from 30 May 30 to June 1. Kyiv Post was a media partner.
Mike Pompeo’s speech is also published on YouTube.
