Berlin (d.de) \u2013 Minister of State for Culture Wolfram Weimer and his Ukrainian counterpart Tetyana Berezhna have agreed to deepen cultural cooperation between their two countries. Weimer stated: \u201cOur solidarity with Ukraine is not only military and political, but also cultural. That is why we are helping Ukraine, which is under brutal threat, to protect its cultural assets, artworks and churches.\u201d Since the start of the war, the Federal Government has already provided 28.9 million euros in cultural aid up to the end of July. Looking ahead, the focus of cooperation will be on rebuilding Ukraine\u2019s destroyed cultural heritage as well as its cultural and media sectors.<\/p>\n
The visibility of contemporary visual art \u2013 including from Ukraine \u2013 is to be enhanced from 2026 onwards through a new funding programme entitled \u201cFocus on Eastern Europe\u201d, launched by the Federal Cultural Foundation.
