Two years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine. At 5 a.m., sirens were wailing across the country and explosions were heard everywhere. Since then, a group of over 30 NGOs has come together to document and collect the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during this war to bring them to court. In this episode „Die Kulturmittler:innen“ we talked to Nadia Volkova. The lawyer is the director of the Ukrainian Legal Advisory Group and part of the Ukraine 5 AM Coalition. She explained the work of the coalition, the support from the civilian population and Germany’s responsibility towards Ukraine. The Ukraine 5 AM Coalition is honoured with the ifa Award this year. ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen recognises the contribution of individuals and institutions to foster transcultural relations through their social, socio-political or artistic work.

All previous episodes of „Die Kulturmittler:innen“ and more information about the ifa Award can be found on the website of ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen ifa.de.
