UNESCO actions for Ukraine

Timeline of UNESCO's commitment to protect Ukraine's education and heritage.

The war is not irreversible. The Secretary-General calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of all Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine.

We must safeguard the cultural heritage in Ukraine, as a testimony of the past but also as a catalyst for peace and cohesion for the future, which the international community has a duty to protect and preserve.

Audrey Azoulay
UNESCO Director-General, at the start of the conflict
