In the center of Washington, near the Ukrainian House, a monument to Hryhoriy Skovoroda was unveiled on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Ukrainian thinker and philosopher.

Ambassador: “Skovoroda’s independence and freedom explain why the Russian occupiers cannot defeat us. The unveiling of the monument to Hryhoriy Skovoroda has a special meaning to us all.

It is not just another anniversary. And not just another exercise in cultural diplomacy.

It is a lasting reminder of our national culture and our national spirit.”
