Obmin

is not just about the past—it is the foundation of the future.

On June 23, Polish and Ukrainian cultural leaders will gather in Warsaw to ensure culture anchors Ukraine's recovery and societal resilience.

This meeting highlights the powerful, ongoing cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian . It is far more than a rescue effort against the destruction of heritage; it is a deep, equal partnership built on mutual learning, knowledge exchange, and solidarity.

We are proud to share that this strategic meeting has been granted official Side Event status to the upcoming Recovery Conference ( 2026) in Gdańsk!

Hosted by the OBMIN Foundation the event will welcome Ukrainian Deputy Ministers of Culture and museum experts to advocate for digitalization, funding, and stronger international partnerships. Because rebuilding a nation means protecting its identity.

Russia gives another proof to the fact that it wants to annihilate the Ukrainian culture and identity:
Bombarding the Kyiv Monastery of the Caves (Національний заповідник Києво-Печерська лавра ) and cultural sites in other Ukrainian cities is barbaric.
It needs to be answered by making culture an own topic at the Ukraine Recovery Conference ( )on June 25 in .
It also requires to further strengthen support to preserve cultural sites throughout Ukraine.
OBMIN is doing just this. Our next action: bringing together Polish and Ukrainian museums just before the URC to launch more bilateral cooperation and support.

defends itself against an enemy which not only wants to conquer a territory but sets out to destroy Ukraine’s national identity.
This is why cultural sites are systematically attacked - last night ’s famous Національний заповідник Києво-Печерська лавра monastery and other important cultural sites-
This is why culture needs to become an own pillar in the discussions in the forthcoming Ukraine Recovery Conference on June 25 in Gdańsk.
And this is why OBMIN gathers Ukrainian and Polish museums in a pre-conference to the on June 23 in Warsaw where we will launch new initiatives to support Ukrainian museums.
