Preserving Ukraine’s Identity and Hope

Over 48 hours on May 13–14, Russia conducted one of the largest and most prolonged aerial assaults since the full-scale invasion began in 2022. Close to 1,600 drones and 60 missiles targeted over 20 regions of Ukraine.

News stories often focus on the destruction and displacement caused by the war. But behind every headline and statistic, you will also find human stories of resilience, identity, culture, and hope.

🎥 In this short video with Olesia Luciw-Andryjowycz, our Board’s Secretary and Chair of our Civil Society Committee, members of the Ukrainian Canadian community who are helping preserve Ukraine’s culture, identity and spirit in the face of Russia’s war are featured.

From protecting Ukrainian cultural heritage to providing hockey equipment that gives children a moment of normalcy, these efforts remind us that rebuilding Ukraine is also about protecting its people, their spirit and their future.
