Ukraine, Estonia united in fighting Russian propaganda - Minister

Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko held a meeting with the First Vice-Speaker of the Riigikogu of Estonia, Helir-Valdor Seeder, and the Ambassador to Ukraine, Kaimo Kuuska, to discuss efforts to fight against Russian propaganda.

This was reported by the ministry’s press service, according to Ukrinform.

"Ukrainian culture during the war is our cultural front. Many artists stayed at home, despite everything, and now continue to support our citizens. After all, Ukrainians are currently experiencing all the horrors of a war of aggression. At the same time, the artists themselves also need support. Ukraine is now on the front line and is fighting for the values ​​of the civilized world. That is why we need a united rear in the form of support from the EU and our partners to help cultural figures in Ukraine, as well as our media and book publishers. I thank the Estonian partners for their support," said Tkachenko.

The minister briefed his interlocutors on how the Ukrainian art sector was surviving the war, and also emphasized the need to support Ukrainian book publishing. In addition, Tkachenko emphasized the importance of EU countries joining efforts in the fight against Russian propaganda narratives.

As reported, the Ministry hopes to receive financial assistance from UNESCO for Ukraine’s cultural institutions, in particular, theaters located in the de-occupied territories.
