Share Your View With the World
Who we are?
The Ukrainian View is an independent blog that aims at sharing not news, but views of the Ukrainians. For many decades and even centuries, the Ukrainians have been silenced due to constant invasions, repressions, and oppressive regimes imposed by Russia under different rulers. Now, the world is finally ready to listen and hear what we have to say.
The project is made and supported by Ukrainian volunteers: writers, journalists, and experts in different fields from war affairs to culture and history.
Why share your story?
For many years the world has seen Ukraine and Ukrainians through the prism of stereotypes and clichés. Most often, this image had a negative character and showed Ukrainians either as mafia or as poor emigrants. All this allows Russian propaganda to turn the world against Ukrainians, and launch their own narratives that we have no culture, language, or position. That we are victims, weak and weak-willed.
But we aren’t. The whole world has already seen this. Now is the time to hear Ukrainians — their stories, thoughts, and views. That is why it is so important to speak. Now the world is ready to listen.
Words and Truth are also weapons. And perhaps the most effective.
What topics do we cover?
- Personal stories of the Ukrainians.
- A letter from Mariupol / Chernihiv / Kyiv / Crimea etc. — stories about different cities and places from the perspective of the witnesses and people living there
- History & Culture: cultural resistance and modern Ukrainian culture to follow.
4. Expert view: columns by experts on the topic of war, propaganda, war crimes, women's rights, human rights, etc.
