On June 19, the Acting Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, Rostyslav Karandieiev, met with representatives of the Embassy of Canada in Ukraine at the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy. The discussion focused on the completion of the second phase of the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide in Kyiv.
“I would like to confirm that the funds—15 million Canadian dollars—have been allocated. They are ready for this project, this initiative to continue the construction of the second phase of the Holodomor Museum. We are now completing all our internal procedures to ensure everything proceeds smoothly,” said Stephen Weaver, Head of the International Development Section at the Embassy of Canada in Ukraine.
During the meeting, the parties agreed on the roles in the project.
“Ukraine is grateful for all the assistance from Canada. The completion of the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide is a very sensitive issue for our society. It should inspire Ukrainians and the international community to uphold freedom and dignity, prevent genocide, and prioritize human rights,” noted Rostyslav Karandieiev, Acting Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine.
Let us recall that the Government of Canada will provide financial assistance for the implementation of the second phase of the Holodomor-Genocide Museum project, in accordance with the agreements between the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.
