SUMMARY:Press conference: Launch of the Advocacy Coalition – Defending Our Future Now
DESCRIPTION:LUkraine asbl\, together with an alliance of nine partner Embassies resident in Luxembourg — the Embassies of Belgium\, the Czech Republic\, France\, Germany\, Ireland\, the Netherlands\, Poland\, Romania\, and the United Kingdom — and with the support of the European Commission in Luxembourg and the Embassy of Ukraine in Belgium and Luxembourg\, officially announces the launch of the Advocacy Coalition – Defending Our Future Now. \nThis year-long initiative is not charity — it is a strategic investment in European security. \nThroughout 2026\, the Coalition will host a series of monthly events addressing key themes such as countering disinformation and hybrid threats\, strengthening resilience\, supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction\, and amplifying the role of Ukrainian communities in Europe. \nAs part of the initiative\, the Embassy of the Czech Republic will co-host the year-long exhibition “How to Destroy a Country.” The exhibition reveals the systematic tactics used to undermine sovereignty — from child abduction and identity erasure to disinformation and institutional manipulation. It serves as both a warning and a call to action. \nAt the heart of the project is also the Advocacy Platform — a digital space amplifying authentic voices and testimonies that explain why supporting Ukraine matters. \nThis is a coordinated effort to safeguard democratic values in Europe. \nWe invite institutions\, media representatives\, community leaders\, and citizens to engage with the initiative\, participate in its events\, and contribute to strengthening peace\, accountability\, and resilience across Europe. \n🛡️ Defend Our Future Now.

SUMMARY:Installation “Empty Beds”
DESCRIPTION:“Empty Beds” is an immersive installation that brings visitors closer to the human reality of the war in Ukraine.Created as a hyper-realistic reconstruction of a deported Ukrainian child’s bedroom\, the installation transforms statistics into a personal experience. More than twenty thousand Ukrainian children have been illegally taken from their homes\, and behind every number is a family waiting\, a room left untouched\, and a future interrupted. \nThe installation recreates a child’s room at a 1:1 scale\, allowing visitors to step into a space filled with silence\, memory\, and absence. Through everyday objects\, photographs\, and personal details\, the exhibition invites viewers to understand what it means to lose home\, childhood\, and the right to grow up in one’s own country. “Empty Beds” was created by the charitable organisation Bird of Light Ukraine to raise international awareness about the deportation of Ukrainian children and to turn a global statistic into a physical reality that cannot be ignored. \nThe installation is presented within the framework of Advocacy Coalition — Defending Our Future Now\, an international project uniting embassies\, institutions\, and civil society to strengthen solidarity with Ukraine and to defend shared democratic values. Through exhibitions\, discussions\, and public events\, the project seeks to make the human dimension of the war visible\, personal\, and impossible to overlook. \nThe deportation of Ukrainian children is not only a humanitarian tragedy. It is an attempt to destroy identity\, memory\, and the future of a nation. By entering the space of this room\, visitors are invited not only to observe\, but to reflect\, to feel\, and to act. Awareness leads to responsibility. Responsibility leads to action. \nThe installation was created by Bird of Light Ukraine and presented as part of the Advocacy Coalition project\, in cooperation with diplomatic and institutional partners.

SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition “Lost Childhood”
DESCRIPTION:“Lost Childhood” is a documentary photo exhibition dedicated to the children of Ukraine whose childhood has been taken away by war\, deportation\, and forced displacement. The exhibition is currently presented on the fence of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Luxembourg\, as part of the public exhibition programme of the Advocacy Coalition — Defending Our Future Now initiative. \nThe exhibition features photographs inspired by the work of Ukrainian photographer Roman Pashkovskyi\, showing the eyes of children who survived occupation\, deportation\, and captivity. Their gaze reflects experiences far beyond their years. What should have been a time of play\, safety\, and growth was replaced by loss\, fear\, and separation. The images remind us that behind every statistic there is a real child\, a real family\, and a life changed forever.   \nThis exhibition is part of the international effort to raise awareness about the illegal deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children by the Russian Federation\, a crime documented by Ukrainian authorities and international organisations. Thousands of children have been taken from their homes\, placed in institutions\, or subjected to ideological pressure intended to erase their identity. The loss of childhood is not only a personal tragedy\, but also an attack on the future of a nation.   \n“Lost Childhood” was created within the framework of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative\, launched to support the return of deported and forcibly displaced Ukrainian children and to inform the international community about this ongoing crime. The exhibition transforms facts and numbers into human stories\, making the consequences of the war visible in the most personal way.   \nThe exhibition was officially opened on March 24 in Luxembourg and will remain on display for approximately two months\, after which the panels will be replaced by the next chapter of the year-long outdoor exhibition How to Destroy a Country\, presented by the Advocacy Coalition. Each chapter reveals a different aspect of the war against Ukraine and its impact on people\, identity\, and democratic values. \nBy bringing these stories into public space\, the exhibition invites visitors not only to look\, but to understand\, to remember\, and to take responsibility. Every lost childhood is a warning. Every story is a call to action.
