The charity account on behalf of the Minister has already been opened by the State Agency of Ukraine on Arts and Artistic Education. The funds collected in a charity account will be used for protection, evacuation, digitization, and preservation of cultural property, supporting the activities of cultural and art institutions, creative industries, television, and radio broadcasting, that were damaged, or destroyed as a result of hostilities during the armed aggression against Ukraine.
«During the occupation, it is the culture that is one of the first to be subjected to total raid from the invaders. Now russia is trying to destroy Ukrainian culture as a phenomenon and replace it with its own "values". That will not work! The funds accumulated on the charity account will become a reliable springboard for the protection of Ukrainian culture and its blithering revival after the victory over the Russian occupiers," said Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko.
All information regarding the donation of money to the charity account, as well as reports on its usage will be displayed on the website of the State Agency of Ukraine on Arts and Artistic Education: https://arts.gov.ua/donate/
"Russia seeks to deny the very existence of Ukrainian culture and art. Therefore, the priority of funding the arts, protection of cultural heritage, and support for artists appear not mere requirement of the time, but a necessary condition for our future," said the Head of the State Agency on Arts and Artistic Education Galyna Grygorenko.
