Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office Andriy Yermak met in video conference mode with the chiefs of national cultural institutions, art and film directors, actors, singers, musicians, and producers.

That’s according to the Office’s press service, Ukrinform reports.

Andriy Yermak emphasized that Ukrainian cultural figures make a significant contribution to the fight against the Russian aggressor.

"It is very important that you work and not stop. People in Ukraine and around the world feel it. Culture amid war is very important because it is the faith of the people, identification of Ukraine," said the head of the President's Office.

Andriy Yermak noted that the country remains the focus of the international community, which opens up great opportunities for expanding the influence of Ukrainian cultural products.

He proposed to create a Council under the President’s Office that would address the issues in the field of culture.

"For the President and our entire team, Ukrainian culture and its development is one of the priorities. Therefore, let's communicate and solve all issues related to culture. Your position, your thoughts are very important to us," the head of the Office emphasized.

It is noted that the Deputy Head of the Office, Olena Kovalska, also took part in the meeting.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee has called on Russia to refrain from any actions that would inflict direct or indirect damage on the properties and buffer zone, cultural heritage of Ukraine as a whole and properties inscribed on the Tentative List.
