British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons has said that Ukrainian innovation, craftwork and art are alive despite the Russian invasion that affects not only land but also Ukrainian culture and history.
The diplomat said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
"Ukrainian-made sunglasses derived from coffee. A brooch made in Sumy. Maria Prymachenko. Ukrainian innovation, craftwork and art are alive and thriving. Important to showcase because this is an invasion not just of land but also of Ukraine's history and culture," Simmons said.
Earlier, the British ambassador, who began studying Ukrainian immediately after she took over the post in 2019, said that William Shakespeare's works read as well in Ukrainian as they do in English.
