The Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak met online with world cultural figures.
The meeting was attended by representatives of Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy, Ireland, China, the United States, Germany, and Türkiye. Among them were heads of cultural institutions, producers, musicians, artists and actors.
Andriy Yermak thanked them for supporting Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
"We have shown the whole world that it is possible not to be afraid, but to be free and to fight for our values: independence, freedom and democracy. The situation remains difficult, the war continues. People are living under missile and Iranian drone attacks. But every day, every night, our people are fighting on the front lines," he said.
The Head of the Presidential Office presented the details of the Peace Formula initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the preparations for the Global Peace Summit to be held in Switzerland in June this year. He called on cultural figures to emphasize the importance of the event for the leaders of their countries and for the whole society.
"We want to live in our beautiful country with internationally recognized borders. I urge you to use all your abilities, your influence, your contacts. It is very important that as many world leaders as possible meet in Switzerland. It will significantly help to prevent Ukrainians from being killed every day and every night, and to ensure that our children are not raised under fire," Andriy Yermak noted.
