Today, on International Women’s Day, we want to celebrate all Ukrainian women and commemorate their fight for equal rights. From legendary writers, artists and performers to innovators and leaders, Ukrainian women stand at the core of our society. They uphold the harmony and drive our country towards a brighter future. Since 2022, over 67000 women have begun to serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They are daughters, mothers, friends, sisters, and wives. They left their ordinary lives to defend our independence so that little girls can one day grow up in a peaceful Ukraine. Ukrainian women not only serve for the sovereignty of Ukraine, but they also fight to show that women are warriors whose bravery cannot go unnoticed. They are medics who save lives, risking their own; they are human rights advocates and volunteers; they are teachers, lawyers, bakers, farmers, caretakers, and people without whom our world wouldn’t go on. Today, remind yourself of all the wonderful women in your life, the sacrifices they’ve made, and the future they stand for. #internationalwomensday Illustration credit: Viktoriia Patapova

Beginning in April of 2024, our shelled ambulance from Kharkiv has been touring over 50 Italian cities to raise awareness about russia’s crimes against Ukrainian emergency services. “These expositions of the shelled ambulance were truly important to show the reality of russian aggression - one that does not stop at anything”, says Olena Kim about the importance of this collaborative project. Thanks to the funds raised at these rallies and demonstrations, an ambulance was procured and sent to Ukraine within the framework of our #Ukraineiscalling campaign. It will save countless lives near the frontlines! We are also excited about the 6 ambulances that have joined #Ukraineiscalling through the fundraising efforts of numerous associations and Italian cities. Such cooperation, on an unprecedented level, is a testament to the importance of unity during these difficult times.

On February 25, 2025, LUkraine, in partnership with the Embassy of Poland and the European Commission in Luxembourg, organised a conference “Russia’s full-scale armed attack on Ukraine. Three years later. The road ahead”. Among the honoured speakers were: Nicolas Zharov - President of LUkraine Inna Yaremenko - The representative of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights in Luxembourg/Vice President of LUkraine Mr. Rafał Hykawy - Charge d'Affaires of Poland Mrs. Anne Calteux - Head of Representation of EU Commission to Luxembourg Ms. Nataliia Anoshyna - Charge d'Affaires of Ukraine HE Mrs. Fleur Thomas - Ambassador of the United Kingdom HE Mrs. Alexandrina-Livia Rusu - Ambassador of Romania HE Mr. Benno Laggner - Ambassador of Switzerland All speakers expressed their vision of the current geopolitical situation, the need to strengthen Europe's positions, making only those decisions that take into account Ukraine's interests, and establishing a just peace for it as the main guarantee of the security system in Europe. Nicolas Zharov emphasized that Europe must grow stronger in terms of security and unity, standing together against ongoing threats. He has called for dialogue with the citizens of the EU and within the transatlantic alliance, urging that we have to stay together to prevent russia from accomplishing its main goals, which is destroying the NATO and weakening the EU. Inna Yaremenko drew attention to the mass deportation of Ukrainian children by the russian federation. She recalled that officially 19,546 Ukrainian children were deported and forcibly displaced by russia. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. The conference was accompanied by the exhibition of photos by Polish photographer “Eyes of the war” documenting the barbarity of the Russian aggression. Thank you, Phillipe Schockweiler for the excellent moderation. And a huge thank you to Ms. Iwona Wojtczak for supporting and organising such an important event at the highest level. #LUkraine_advocacy
