We fully support the Ukrainian military operation to liberate Ukraine and to restore its pre-2014 borders\, including the reintegration of Crimea. We do not support those who wish to compromise Ukraine’s integrity for the sake of a temporary peace. The Festival’s mission is to protect and promote Ukrainian identity and to raise awareness about the beauty of our culture and of the current situation in Ukraine. \nWe do not share the views of the media who support Russian or Soviet propaganda. \nSky Philanthropy\, Music\, Arts and Fashion Productions\, Sky International Center and Boston University united to present Ukrainian culture to all other cultures in New England. \nThe unity of the Ukrainian community during these difficult times is a testament to their strength and resilience. Despite the challenges they face\, they continue to stand together in support of their country and each other\, demonstrating the power of community and solidarity in times of adversity \nwww.SkyPhilanthropy.org\nwww.MySkyIC.com\nwww.MusicArtsFashion.org\nwww.https://www.bu.edu/european \nTickets
