Ukraine House in Denmark Launches “A Taste of Soborna Ukraine” to Celebrate the Day of Unity
COPENHAGEN, January 25, 2025 – Ukraine House in Denmark is proud to announce the launch of “A Taste of Soborna Ukraine”, a culinary initiative commemorating the Day of Unity of Ukraine, celebrated annually on January 22. The project delves into the essence of “soborna” (соборна)—a unity that transcends territorial bonds—through the lens of Ukrainian cuisine.
Drawing inspiration from the historic Act of Unification in 1919, which united the Ukrainian People's Republic and Western Ukrainian People's Republic, this initiative highlights how diverse regional culinary traditions come together to form a unified, rich cultural identity. From Carpathian herbs to Polissian mushrooms, Bessarabian wines, and Crimean Tatar spices, each region's unique flavors contribute to a shared heritage that tells the story of Ukraine's historical connections.
Beginning this January, Ukraine House will unveil a monthly showcase of traditional recipes, celebrating how Ukrainian cuisine transcends regional boundaries while honoring its local roots. The dishes embody the cultural significance of sobornist—a unity that can be tasted, shared, and celebrated.

Ukraine House in Denmark Hosts Chornobyl Legacy Discussion with Professor Serhii Plokhy7.5.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
On Sunday, April 27, Ukraine House in Denmark had the honour of hosting a discussion dedicated to the legacy and present-day relevance of the Chornobyl disaster. We were privileged to welcome Professor Serhii Plokhii, Director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University and a globally recognized authority on nuclear catastrophes. Professor Plokhii, who joined us at the opening of Ukraine House, opened by reminding us that “authoritarian regimes are there to create disasters—small disasters and big disasters—and Chornobyl is about a big disaster that can destroy life on Earth.” He went on to draw a chilling parallel between 1986 and 2022: “The most disturbing part of that new Chornobyl crisis that emerged in 2022 was that it was caused by the very same phenomenon—the authoritarian regime that has complete disregard for norms of international law, for human life, for environmental concerns.”
II Forum “Decolonizing Mindsets for Security in Europe” Calls for Urgent Cultural Reframing to Strengthen Democracy2.5.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
On April 25, Ukraine House in Denmark hosted the second edition of the Forum “Decolonizing Mindsets for Security in Europe,” convening leading cultural and political thinkers to examine how colonial legacies shape memory, policy, and Europe’s security landscape. “At a time when cultural policy, memory, and history shape the global struggle for freedom and democracy, it's vital to reflect critically on the narratives that define how we see the US, Europe, Ukraine, and Russia. For Ukrainians, decolonisation means uncovering layers of russification and reclaiming our history, culture, and decision-making free from Russian-centric optics. But Ukraine’s security also depends on the willingness of democratic allies to emancipate themselves from cultural superpower biases—to recognise Ukrainian contributions to world heritage and engage with Ukraine as an equal partner in defending dignity and democracy. That’s why we will continue to foster dialogue around decolonizing mindsets—because only
Making Russia Pay – International Accountability Pathways to Justice discussed at Ukraine House Panel16.4.2025 08:01:53 CEST | Press release
As Russia’s war enters its third year, the question isn’t whether Ukraine will endure—but whether justice will. On April 9, Ukraine House in Denmark, in partnership with the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, convened a public discussion, “Establishing Accountability for Russia’s Actions in Ukraine”, with a sharp focus: how the world can make Russia pay—literally and legally—for its aggression. Featuring Jonas Parello-Plesner, Executive Director of the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, and Julia Kyrpa, Board Member of the Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U), the conversation illuminated a fast-moving and historic effort: building an international compensation system without Russia’s consent.

Copenhagen, Denmark – April 9, 2025 – As the world watches negotiations, ceasefires, and peace talks unfold, the reality on the ground in Ukraine remains stark. More than 180,000 documented war crimes, the forced deportation of at least 19,546 Ukrainian children, and relentless attacks on Ukrainian cities, homes, and infrastructure raise an urgent question: Can there be a just peace without full accountability?
