#VyshyvankaUnites 🇺🇦 UWC President @PaulMGrod sends his greetings to Ukrainians around the world on Vyshyvanka Day. 💬 “Today, the vyshyvanka is far more than a marker of our identity, it has become a global symbol of strength, resilience, and solidarity”

This #Vyshyvanka Day, the @NEDemocracy team is showing off their traditional embroidery to celebrate Ukrainian culture and identity in solidarity with our partners as they continue to defend their sovereignty and liberty. -@AShevch

Ukrainian civil society has become an “iron shield” — a powerful force for national defense in the face of war.

International cooperation and global solidarity with Ukraine are crucial in our fight for freedom. Today, I welcomed diplomats from over 30 countries who arrived to serve in Ukraine. During an orientation session at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, I emphasized the importance of strengthening economic, cultural, and political ties. Ukraine is open to partnerships and values the support of international allies. Grateful to all diplomats for their work — our intergovernmental dialogue will only grow stronger! @AShevch @UWCongress @VolodymyrBugrov
