In the fourth year since the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the international university community continues to demonstrate its solidarity with the Ukrainian people and higher education institutions. Particularly important and deeply valued is the support of our international partners, who stand by Ukraine and continue to support Ukrainian universities during this difficult and tragic period.
Participants in the international Twinning Initiative prepared a video message in support of Ukrainian universities. In their address, they expressed sincere solidarity with university faculty, staff, and students, emphasising their admiration for the resilience, courage, and dedication of Ukrainian educators.
Despite the challenges and dangers of wartime, Khmelnytskyi National University continues its educational and research activities, training a new generation of professionals and thereby making a significant contribution to preserving and rebuilding Ukraine’s future.
Partners assured that they will continue to support Ukrainian higher education institutions, promote cooperation, implement joint projects, and create new opportunities for students and academic staff. The Twinning Initiative continues to open practical opportunities for partnership, exchange of experience, and the implementation of joint educational and research initiatives.
The video serves as a symbol of unity, friendship, and belief in Ukraine’s victory, and as a reminder that the Ukrainian academic community does not stand alone in facing these challenges.
We sincerely thank our international partners for their support, solidarity, and belief in Ukraine. Together, we are stronger.
