From December 2020 to January 2023, Arestovych served as a strategic communications adviser for the Office of the President of Ukraine. He has remained an active voice in international discussions regarding Ukraine's geopolitical situation, and has announced that he will run for the president of Ukraine if current president Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not seek a second term.
Dr. Alexey Ignatchenko, who has organized Arestovych's visit to Fisher, said that the talk will be intellectually stimulating and enlightening for attendees.
"This would be a valuable demonstration of how diverse viewpoints function in a democratic society," he said. "Participants will enjoy a conversation with Mr. Arestovych in a small room setting."
