Mr. Engel-Schmidt also noted that their goal is to encourage other countries to follow Denmark’s example. Thank you for your leadership in supporting Ukraine!” Berezhna wrote on her Facebook page.
The minister noted that the Ukrainian delegation joined an informal meeting of European Union ministers of culture and media in Copenhagen.
“We are presenting to our colleagues the mechanics and key objectives of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Fund, a platform for restoring cultural heritage and strengthening culture. We are showing the figures of the destruction caused by the Russian Federation. We are talking about the top priorities for restoration for the next three years. We will also hold a series of bilateral meetings in Copenhagen with European partners, Danish cultural institutions, and the Ukrainian community,” Berezhna said.
She thanked Denmark for supporting Ukraine’s participation in the event, for its partnership and investment in Ukrainian culture and restoration.
