After this past week’s deeply concerning events, we are gathering to say: We stand with Ukraine. We stand with President Zelenskyy. We demand action.

While Ukraine continues to defend democracy, the hesitation and lack of urgency from the U.S. government are unacceptable. No justice, no peace. The world cannot afford to turn its back on Ukraine. Our voices matter. Our presence matters.

• Wear yellow & blue

• Bring Ukrainian flags

• Invite your community

Let’s stand together and show Ukraine that we will not abandon them.

Justice for Ukraine. Victory for Ukraine. No justice, no peace.

Dear Washington D.C. friends & colleagues – Please SAVE THE DATE and join us on February 24, 2025 for a special screening of UKRAINE UNDER FIRE | A Film About War & Resilience, at The George Washington University Lisner Auditorium in the heart of Washington D.C.

This much-anticipated screening event of our American-Ukrainian documentary film production marks the somber three-year anniversary of Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, which has triggered the largest conflict in Europe since World War II, displacing millions of Ukrainian citizens worldwide and shaking the foundations of the international order.

This seminal event will include a special guest appearance by the film’s central character, Olga Butko, a national television journalist from Kyiv, Ukraine. Mark Dillen, Executive Director of Ukrainians of Colorado, will lead the evening and Tinatin Japaridze, a Geopolitical Risk Analyst with Eurasia Group, will provide the evening’s keynote address with additional speakers to be announced soon. A moderated Q&A session will follow directly after the film screening.

The renowned Lisner Auditorium at GWU will provide a formative space for stakeholders, policymakers, diplomats, students, and members of the Ukrainian diaspora to come together and honor Ukraine’s fight for freedom, democracy, and self-determination. The event is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required for attendance.

FREE Registration Link

Thanks everyone and please share this post with your colleagues and friends – it’s going to be an unforgettable evening and definitely the place to be on February 24th.

ABOUT THE FILM

UKRAINE UNDER FIRE is a film about Ukrainian resilience during a time of war. The story follows Olga Butko, a Ukrainian television news presenter and weaves in Jordan Campbell's experience as an American journalist covering the conflict. With the war escalating every day, the duo collaborate on a series of interviews, chronicling aspects of resistance, war crimes and acts of genocide. More broadly, the film speaks to Ukraine’s quest for freedom, democracy and European integration, amidst the most significant conflict in Europe since World War II. Please visit www.ukraineunderfire.org to learn more.

A message from @dvadaite: “Since 2017, we, the Daite Dva project, have been brewing mulled wine every year at New Year’s fairs in Ukraine. For us, mulled wine in winter is not a drink, but something more than a Christmas tree We approach its production not as a work in progress, but as a work of art. Every year we try to invent something interesting: it concerns the serving of the drink, its shape (one year we made it in the form of jelly) and taste. We are very glad that we can take our cause to Colorado and teach others. See you at the annual Ukrainian market!

The Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures of Fort Collins, CO has reached out to Ukrainians of Colorado to promote an event know as: Mariupol Before and After: Our Family’s Story. It is important for us to acknowledge and understand the true horrors and struggles Ukrainians have endured.

This story will be presented from 6-7:30 pm Thursday, June 13th, at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures by Stephen Connacher, a former resident of the city who now lives in Fort Collins.

“As a local resident of Mariupol from 2016-2021, I witnessed the port city undergo a wondrous transformation and become a vibrant European city,” says Connacher. “But in early 2022, Russia massacred Mariupol, turning the city into an international symbol of death and destruction. My mother, Ludmila, endured 73 days of attack, siege, occupation, and filtration before a miraculous escape and journey to Fort Collins. I will tell her personal story of survival through those unimaginable 10 weeks, complete with extensive footage.”

Tickets to the presentation are $5 per person, and reservations are required via the following link.

We hope you will join us and support their story!

Dear Ukrainian community!

We will be glad to see you at our meeting in COLORADO SPRINGS on April 27!

We can provide games and food for your children if you register in advance.

Join us!

On Saturday, April 6th, 10 am to 1 pm at the East Community Center in Littleton, Colorado, an estate planning attorney, Alex Kirven, will lead us in a workshop to inform us on the importance of estate planning.

In short terms, this workshop is to help set your assets straight if you were to get in a position where you can no longer physically communicate your needs, or you have passed away. For those newer to the US, this Legal Workshop will be educational and beneficial to attend.

This workshop is an opportunity to learn about estate planning from an attorney who has helped families from all walks of life in an educational, low pressure setting.

The workshop will cover the legal process known as “estate planning.” Broadly speaking, estate planning has five parts:

1. Choosing people to make decisions for you if you can’t make them yourself

2. Choosing who will get your property when you pass away

3. Making sure the people who you have chosen to receive your property actually get it

4. Minimizing taxes and expenses after you pass away

5. Making sure there is someone to take care of your children if they are still minors.

Everyone needs to have an estate plan, but many people do not. There are many reasons for this. Some of the main ones are: a belief that only the very old or the very rich need an estate plan, finding an attorney, and knowing what to ask the attorney.

Tea and coffee will be provided for this event. This workshop is a great opportunity to find out what happens to your belongings and loved ones after you may pass away or get severely ill.

No need to sign up, just show up!

Come join us on Saturday, February 24th at the Denver Capitol Building as we rally to support Ukraine. The two year mark of defending freedom in Ukraine is February 24th, and we want to show the world that we have resisted Russia’s aggression and we are still standing. Our entire mission these past two years have been to #StandWithUkraine.

We will gather at 12 AM to stand in solidarity, honor those that have fallen, and unite as Ukrainians. We plan to have priests join us, moments of silence, speakers, and more. We have also invited city officials who potentially may be joining us. We will also have tables full of items for donations.

“Believe in Ukraine” is a worldwide campaign marking the 10th anniversary of Ukrainian resilience against all odds. The future we believe in is one of Ukrainian victory and liberation. Stand together with us as we illuminate hope and show our solidarity with the brave Ukrainian people.

Belief is a fundamental component of humanity. Our belief is something that connects us all spiritually and it is a powerful tool against the evil of this world. At the core, this is why presently this message is more important than ever. Now, when Ukraine is passing a decade of defending its sovereignty and after two years of protecting the world’s democracy since the start of the full scale invasion.

Let us all band together and Believe In Ukraine!

We hope to see you there, so we can all Stand With Ukraine!
