After all, Ukrainians are currently experiencing all the horrors of an aggressive war. At the same time, the artists themselves also need support. Ukraine is now on the front line and is fighting for the values ​​of the civilized world. That is why we need a united rear in the form of support from the EU and our partners to help representatives of culture in Ukraine, as well as our media and book publishers. I thank the Estonian partners for their support,” said Oleksandr Tkachenko, Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine.


The Minister informed the representatives of Estonia about how the Ukrainian cultural sphere lives during the war, and also emphasized the need to support Ukrainian book publishing.
