Mobile exposition “Together we are Europe” about the EU’s support for Ukraine: from financial assistance to military and humanitarian aid

The mobile exposition 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 10 January, 2023, it opens in Odesa, in Taras Shevchenko park of culture and recreation (near the stage) – before that, the exhibition was presented in Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi and Uzhhorod.

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 exposition 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.

“Odesa deserves a special place in our hearts. As a port city, it is Ukraine’s gateway to the world, rich with its people, history, and culture. Today, it is relentlessly, but pointlessly, subjected to Russia’s shameful missile attacks. These attempts, we know it, will fail to break Odesa’s spirit. We are deeply honoured to open our mobile exhibition in that wonderful city“, – said Remi Duflot, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine.

The exposition opens in partnership with the Odesa City Council and will last until January 25, 2023. Then it will be transferred to other cities of Ukraine.
