Special project. Marathon: “We are different, we are equal, we are united” – how national minorities (communities) and indigenous peoples of Ukraine resist Russian aggression”

Why is it interesting?
The State Service of Ukraine for Ethnic Policy and Freedom of Conscience aims to promote openness and unity in the diversity of Ukrainian society. Therefore, since the full-scale aggression outbroke, the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnic Policy and Freedom of Conscience experts took up to collect evidence of the country’s national minorities (communities) and indigenous peoples being involved in Ukraine’s resistance to Russian aggression, whose joint efforts were outlined in the Almanac of Resistance.

The monitoring is based on open data, including news websites, social networks, official pages of individual representatives, and public associations of national minorities and indigenous peoples of Ukraine.

The representatives of national minorities (communities) and indigenous peoples, who perceive Ukraine as their home are the project’s protagonists, will tell about the power of unity in multiculturalism. They are opinion leaders, activists, human rights defenders, volunteers, and warriors.
