Amidst the horrors of a full-scale invasion, many in Ukraine believe that Ukrainian culture has undergone a renaissance: new bookstores are opening, theaters are drawing crowds, and art exhibitions are breaking attendance records. Andriy Lyubka will discuss how, after the onset of Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian culture became a vital component of the country’s defense strategy. Beyond strengthening national identity and boosting morale, Ukrainian artists and cultural figures have provided both financial and material support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Lyubka will present his nonfiction book War from the Rear , and share his volunteer efforts, which have raised over $1.5 million and resulted in the purchase of more than 310 vehicles for the front lines. He will also highlight other significant initiatives within Ukrainian culture and art that actively support the military.
