The Kyiv Sofia National Reserve became a full member of the Europa Nostra organization, which takes care of cultural and natural heritage in Europe.
The organization includes hundreds of member and associate organizations and dedicated individuals from across Europe and beyond.
Ukraine’s culture ministry noted that such an event has a special and symbolic meaning when the organization celebrates its 60th anniversary, and 2023 was the year of consolidation and further expansion of the organization’s activities for the benefit of Europe’s common heritage.
The devastating consequences of Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine, particularly regarding cultural heritage, continue to require adequate efforts.
So far, the organization has raised over €150,000 in support of cultural heritage in Ukraine through a joint solidarity campaign.
In addition, Europa Nostra, together with a team of European partners and member organizations, launched the European Heritage Hub project in May.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.

He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
