The purpose of the "Kherson region is Ukraine" program
- to provide support to the occupied regions of Ukraine in russia's undeclared war with Ukraine. Through art events and the sale of works by artists and goods with prints, we will collect funds for the reconstruction of cultural monuments and the support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the liberation of Southern Ukraine from the Russian invasion.
"Kherson region is Ukraine" is a personal contribution of each of us to the de-occupation of our Motherland - it is an art program with the participation of artists and illustrators of Ukraine, as well as everyone who wants to become a part of it. With this project, we will say to those who are under occupation: "Hold on, we are thinking about you together with you, we are doing everything possible to help you!"

Today, the attention of Ukraine and the entire civilized world is focused on the Kherson region - it is the tragedy of the occupied territory, and we all expect that after six months of occupation, our troops will retake this territory, where they are very much awaited. All those who left the occupied territory, as well as those who could not do so, dream of only one thing - to live again in the Ukrainian Kherson region.

Today, this is a question of the future of our territory - every day that Rashists remain on our land is months of future psychological rehabilitation of our IDPs and those who remained on the occupied land. These are dozens and hundreds of cultural values ​​that the occupiers will destroy and hundreds of homes that their owners will not be able to move into.

ALL MONEY FROM THE SALE OF PAINTINGS GO TO THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE NOW AND TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DESTROYED CULTURAL MONUMENTS OF SOUTHERN UKRAINE AFTER THE VICTORY. THE PROJECT IS UNLIMITED.
