   Prof. Zadorozhnyi was born on June 26, and for the sixth year in a row, his colleagues, friends and students are gathering to remember Oleksandr Viktorovych, his works and to discuss his contribution to the science of international law of Ukraine. International legal readings were started by Oleksandr Viktorovych as a platform for discussion of current issues by international lawyers, the role of international law in relations between states. 

  This year, representatives from the universities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Lviv took part in the readings. A significant part of the professor's monographs and publications in the last years of his life were devoted to issues of bilateral relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the annexation of Crimea and armed aggression against Ukraine. 

   Ph.D. Nataliia Melnychenko in her report focused on the relevance of the violations by the Russian Federation of all the main principles of international law, identified by prof. Zadoroznii, which took place back in 2014 and, unfortunately, have not received an appropriate reaction from the international community until now. She emphasized that this contributed to the further escalation of the conflict. 

   Ph.D. Liliia Nevara analyzed in detail the impact of the European integration of Ukraine on the recognition of higher education diplomas and qualifications. In connection with the aggression of the Russian Federation and Ukraine's acquisition of the status of a candidate for EU membership, this issue is becoming increasingly urgent, which requires deeper integration into the European space of higher education, recognition of qualifications for the expansion of the single European labor market. 

   All conference participants mentioned Oleksandr Viktorovych personality and his predictions regarding the further development of bilateral relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. His works are practically oriented and should be used by our international lawyers in protecting the interests of Ukraine in international judicial institutions, planning the state's foreign policy.
