In July 2021 Anna was elected President of the Ukrainian Bar Association. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation of Ukraine in February 2022, the Ukrainian Bar Association under Anna’s presidency has been urging the development of accountability mechanisms to ensure justice is served to those guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression. In particular, the UBA advocated the establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression and the design of a compensation framework to address damages caused by the Russian Federation. The UBA provides pro bono legal assistance to Ukrainian citizens affected by the war and supports lawyers in their search for accommodation, educational, professional, and other opportunities.
