The “Culture vs War” project was initiated by the “Watch Ukrainian!” Association in April 2022 to record and convey the truth about the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The heroes of the project are famous Ukrainian artists and cultural figures who, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, have defended their country and/or actively engaged in supporting Ukraine for a faster victory (military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, volunteers and documentarians). Through their stories, beliefs, and reflections on the events, they acquaint the world and Ukrainian communities with the values and meanings of Ukrainian culture, which help Ukrainians to put up a worthy resistance to the aggressor.
