On May 25, Ukraine House in Denmark hosted a special edition of its series “Taste of Ukraine”, dedicated to the Crimean Tatar people—their history, their struggle, and their resilient identity. The event took place in the shadow of May 18 which marks the deportation of Crimean Tatars by the Soviet regime in 1944, a historical trauma that continues to shape the destiny and identity of Ukraine’s indigenous people.
