Leonid Oleksandrovych Kozhara (Ukrainian: Леонід Олександрович Кожара, Russian: Леонид Александрович Кожара, born 14 January 1963) is a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. In 2013 he was the OSCE's (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) Chairperson-in-Office, during the Ukrainian presidency of the OSCE. After the Revolution of Dignity, Kozhara was not charged for his role in the Yanukovych presidency, owing largely due to his dismissal by parliamentary vote shortly before Yanukovych fled to Russia. Kozhara would then join the newly-established pro-Russian party "Socialists". However, on 25 March 2020 Kozhara was arrested by security forces on charges of murdering advertising mogul Serhiy Starytsky on 21 February 2020, and on 23 September 2022, the party "Socialists" was banned by Ukraine.
