A campaign in support of Ukrainians who were forced to leave their homes due to the Russian invasion has been launched in Ukraine today. It takes place in the form of a video manifesto and was made possible with the initiative and support of the “Helping to Leave” charity organization.
The campaign begins with a video about the artist Marusya Chuprynenko, whose home has been under Russian occupation since 2022. The video plunges into the memories of her hometown and home, which are now personified by small things: cups, photo albums, keys, and embroidered shirts — things that are usually taken away as a reminder of their native places.
As part of the “My Home Fit in a Cup” campaign, a series of interviews with IDPs (internally departed persons) who were forced to leave their homes due to Russian aggression is planned. The main goal of the campaign is to draw public attention to the pain of the exiles, to unite people around the tragedy of the forced resettlement of Ukrainians, and to evoke empathy and compassion.
“Helping to Leave” is a charitable organization that helps Ukrainian women evacuate from war zones, temporarily occupied territories, and from the territory of Russia, where Ukrainian women were taken against their will. Over the two-plus years of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian occupation forces, 45,000 people have received assistance from the organization.
The National Resistance Center calls on all concerned citizens to help bring the time of de-occupation of Ukrainian lands closer.
Anyone can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
