The Ukrainian Museum in New York strongly condemns Russia's blatant disregard of international laws and its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine violating that country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
As an institution that was founded to preserve Ukraine's rich cultural heritage in the diaspora, the Museum condemns Vladimir Putin's war and his indiscriminate bombardment of Ukrainian cities, which is resulting in an untold loss of innocent lives and has already manifested the horrific destruction of residential areas, schools, museums, landmarks and other historical structures.
The Ukrainian Museum's roots lie in a 1933 World's Fair exhibition that took place at the height of the Holodomor, the man-made famine instigated by Stalin to crush the Ukrainian people. Millions perished, ancient cultural landmarks destroyed, yet Ukrainians persisted. They endured decades of persecution under communism and were key players in toppling the Soviet regime in 1991. They rebelled against the Kremlin's attempt to reverse their hard-earned democracy in 2014, and have been assiduously building their democratic, pluralistic society ever since.
We stand with Ukraine in its defense of its sovereignty and democracy, the expansion of its rule of law, and the restoration of its territorial integrity.
As Putin spills the blood of Ukrainians in his quest to dominate the country at any cost, the world sees and recognizes his reckless aims. The Museum calls on you to be generous in your support for Ukraine to prevail.

About the Museum
The Ukrainian Museum acquires, preserves, and exhibits articles of artistic or historic
significance to the rich cultural heritage of Ukrainian Americans; its collections include
thousands of items of folk art, fine art, and archival material. At its founding in 1976 by the
Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, the Museum was hailed as one of the finest
achievements of Americans of Ukrainian descent. Since then, and particularly since its move in
2005 to a new, state-of-the-art building in Manhattan’s vibrant East Village, it has become
known as one of the most interesting and dynamic smaller museums in New York City. Each
year, the Museum organizes several exhibitions, publishes bilingual (English/Ukrainian)
catalogues, and presents a wide range of public and educational programs, including concerts,
films, lectures, courses, workshops, and special events.
