Mobile exhibition "Together we are Europe" about the EU’s unwavering support to Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion is moving to Uzhorod

The mobile exhibition of original artworks by Ukrainian illustrators on the topic of the European Union's assistance to Ukraine and Ukrainians in the face of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine continues its route through the regions of the country. On 16 December, 2022, it opened in Uzhhorod, in Bozdosh park - before that, the exhibition was presented in Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne and Khmelnytskyi.

The exposition is part of the all-Ukrainian communication campaign "Together we are Europe", which the EU launched in August. The campaign aims to inform the widest audience of Ukrainians about the comprehensive EU support, solidarity and assistance, which European partners have consistently provided to Ukraine from the very beginning of a full-scale Russian invasion, and which is constantly increasing.

A series of drawings created by nine Ukrainian illustrators presents a wide range of assistance that Ukraine and Ukrainians receive – both within the country and in the EU, where over 8 million of Ukrainians escaping the war currently live.

The exhibition shows the extent of the assistance of the European Union, its Member States and Financial Institutions – “Team Europe” - , who quickly switched their decision-making mechanisms regarding financial, humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine to a “wartime mode”. Starting from February 2022, Team Europe has provided assistance to Ukraine in the total amount of almost EUR 23 billion - including 3.1 billion military assistance via the European Peace Facility - and is currently working on more.

I am moved to see our exhibition in yet another Ukrainian city, this time Uzhhorod. Uzhohord is among the western Ukrainian cities which have opened their doors to people fleeing parts of Ukraine that are closer to Russia and Belarus. But make no mistake: the region is not safe from Russian missiles and from the impact on the attacks against critical civilian infrastructure – which constitute a war crime,

– said  Ambassador Matti Maasikas, Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine.

The exhibition opens in partnership with the Uzhhorod City Council and will last until 09 January  2023. Then it will be transferred to other cities of Ukraine.
