In Solidarity With Ukraine is a program founded by PEN Ukraine in December 2022. Its goal is to showcase the impact of Russian military crimes against Ukraine and its culture. The program aims to provide foreign delegations—comprising writers, journalists, publicists, cultural managers, and thought leaders—with a deeper understanding of the current situation in Ukraine amidst the war by offering context and insights.
