Together with KOLO Nordic and Frihed for Ukraine, we invite you to a meeting with several soldiers from one of the most remarkable Ukrainian units, the Da Vinci Wolves Battalion, on 23.04.2024, 17:00 at the Ukraine House in Denmark. The battalion is known for their courage and fearless defense of Ukraine during the full-scale invasion, markedly during the Kharkiv counteroffensive. The soldiers that will be visiting are Serhii Filimonov, Alina Mykhailova, Andriy Pysarenko, Olexandr Yabchanka, and Oleksi Makhrynsky.

Dear Friend of the Ukraine House, In 2024, we still witness the consequences of imperial ambitions and the legacy of colonialism affecting international relations in Europe and threatening European security. The full-scale Russian war of aggression against Ukraine showed the real danger of ignoring the voices of the colonised, repressed and persecuted, and regarding only the former empire as a worthwhile stakeholder in international relations. What would the world have looked like if Russia wasn’t received with impunity after it launched its brutal wars of recolonisation against Ichkeria, Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine? Perhaps currently we would not be facing the largest war in Europe since the Second World War.

Earlier in spring, the Ukraine House in Denmark hosted an evening of new Ukrainian poetry and music with poet and translator Yuliya Musakovska arriving from Ukraine and the Copenhagen-based Ukrainian musician Sofia Shvager. The evening began with the presentation of Yuliya’s latest poetry collection “The God of Freedom” (2021). The key takeaways from the moderated presentation and Yulyia’s readings of her poetry are here:

The event marked the first-ever performance during which Ukrainian writers shared their powerful work to articulate the inexpressible suffering of the Ukrainian nation during the war, and renowned Danish actors amplified their voices, demonstrating a profound cultural exchange between Ukraine and Denmark.

Executions, torture of prisoners, forced deportation of children, obstruction of evacuation, shelling of civilians, hospitals, and infrastructure... During the 20 months of the invasion the army of the Russian Federation committed almost all types of crimes mentioned in the Geneva Conventions. The General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine has opened nearly 110,000 proceedings related to war crimes. Ukraine demands the creation of a special tribunal for the crime of aggression, which it calls ‘the mother of all crimes’.

On behalf of The Reckoning Project, the Ukrainian NGO Public Interest Journalism Lab and the Ukrainie House in Denmark we are delighted to invite you to the screening of the selection of The Reckoning Project`s films on the Russian war crimes in Ukraine, followed by the discussion with The Reckoning Project co-founder, Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk and one of the survivors.

Dr. Ivan Horodyskyy, Vice-President of the Ukrainian Bar Association, appealed to the Danish parliament with a сordial request to make every effort to establish justice for the victims of the Holodomor by recognizing it as genocide. The expert spoke during the commemorative event “Holodomor – 90: impact on Ukraine and the future of justice” held at Ukraine House in Denmark on Nov. 25.

As we approach the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor and the December hearings in the Danish Parliament regarding the recognition of the Holodomor as genocide, yesterday, our public initiative group met with the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs to advocate for acknowledgement and justice. We've initiated a symbolic gesture—Danish parliamentarians are now in possession of the artistically displayed bouquets of the five stalks of wheat, reminding them of the sinister Soviet Decree of 5 Stalks of Wheat. This law was one in a series of resolutions that enabled the deliberate killing by starvation of a minimum 4 million of Ukrainians in 1932-1933. We are joined by the leaders of Ukrainian organizations within the Association of Ukrainians in Denmark and the Ukrainian faith-based organizations in an appeal to the Danish Folketing to join the 36 nations and organizations and recognize Holodomor as the genocide of Ukrainian people.

On Nov. 21, 2023, Ukraine commemorated the 10th anniversary of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity, a pivotal moment in history which was followed by a decade of transformation since hundreds thousands of Ukrainians gathered in late November 2013 to protest against a government move away from an EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. The revolution changed the course of Ukrainian history, its conclusion marked by a loss of 100 lives, a change in government, and the occupation of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. In honour of the occasion, we’d like to share key takeaways from our panel discussion “Ukraine and the world transformed: 10 years since the Revolution of Dignity” that took place on Nov. 20 at Ukraine House in Denmark.

We extend our warm invitation to you to participate in two significant events surrounding the commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor, the man-made famine that impacted millions of Ukrainians. As part of the Ukrainian civil society initiative group's efforts to seek recognition of Holodomor as the genocide of the Ukrainian people, we will be presenting symbolic objects and information letters to members of the Danish Parliament to provide insights into the specific resolutions by Soviet authorities that led to the deliberate killing by starvation of millions of Ukrainians 90 years ago. We cordially invite you to join us on 22 November 2023, at 11:00 a.m in Folketinget, on the second floor opposite Udenrigspolitisk nævn. This meeting will include representatives from the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Denmark, the Association of Ukrainians in Denmark, the Ukraine House in Denmark, and other Ukrainian-Danish NGOs.

On November 25 at 16:00, we invite you to the commemorative event “Holodomor – 90: impact on Ukraine and the future of justice” at Ukraine House in Denmark. Please join us in lighting candles to commemorate 90 years since the Holodomor, one of the darkest chapters in our nation's history.
