"As for the middle of the August, the total sum of financial suppoort given is 1 888 170 UAH. We have supported 148 museums from 10 regions of Ukraine, the finantial help was given to 810 people. Among some new requests is evacuation of cultural workers. Also the team is working on a project of psychological help for them."
"A group of museum directors had launched an initiative to send funds to cultural workers across the country. They included museum and library staff living in southern cities such as Kherson, now under Russian occupation. None had been paid, with the stipends from the European Commission and other donors used to buy food", Honchar said.
"When we speak about the rescue of Ukrainian museums in times of war, it's not only about transporting of the exhibits and collections. It is important to support museum workers as well - people, who had dedicated themselves to preserving culture and history. Olha Honchar, the founder of the Museum Crisis Center and director of the Territory of Terror memorial museum of totalitarian regimes, is sure about it."
