3474720 -801369 VERKHOVNA RADA OF UKRAINE Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy 01008, Kyiv -8, Grushevskogo St/ 5, tel .: 255-28-07, факс: 255-25-91 To the Minist er of Culture On behalf of the Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, we express our gratitude for your support of Ukraine in its struggle for freedom and independence since the beginning of the Russian military invasion. We appreciate the help of European friends at the military, economic and financial levels. On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation carried out a dishonest and cruel military attack on a neighboring state - our country. Since the beginning of the invasion, Russian troops have been systematically firing missiles and bombs, as well as weapons prohibited by international conventions, on residential neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, maternity hospitals, kindergartens, and so on. These war crimes are being committed against civilians in central Europe at this very moment as you are reading this letter. In recent days, the world community has witnessed the brutal and ruthless crimes committed by Russians against civilians in Kyiv region. Unfortunately, war crimes are still being committed in other parts of Ukraine, and the only way to stop them is to stop the aggression. The world is resisting the aggressor by way of imposing economic sanctions so that the enemy bears the losses. The Armed Forces of Ukraine and its citizens are defending Ukraine every single moment – and Ukraine is defending the whole world. However, we need your support ─ the war which is just a few hundred kilometers from the borders of your country has been going on for so long that people, especially children, do not remember other times, because every day becomes a challenge. The challenge to survive. The people, and especially children, are those who lose the most in the geopolitical dispute. Every day you see a picture of the world in which Ukrainian children are growing up. In view of the above, we ask you to consider the possibility of placing children from front-line zones in children's camps in your country in the autumn season of 2022. We are confident that, by putting the joint effort at various levels, the democratic free world will soon overcome the bloody and brutal tyranny we are witnessing today. We continue our struggle. Freedom will win. Tyranny will fall. 385590 193874 0 0 Danil Getmantsev Head of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Polic y
