The Fulbright Ukraine Program has carried on despite Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine. The office has continued, from Kyiv and Warsaw, to support Ukrainian Fulbrighters in the United States and support U.S. Fulbrighters who were relocated from Ukraine to Poland and other countries to continue their Fulbright research and studies. Many of the U.S. Fulbright Students and Scholars as well as Fulbright Ukraine staff have volunteered with displaced Ukrainian communities in Poland.
Jessica Zychowicz, Fulbright alum and Director of the Fulbright Program in Ukraine, speaks about the critical importance of Fulbright at this time. “All [Fulbright participants and alumni] contribute to our mutual democratic freedom—not only through publications, speeches, lectures, but also in everyday words and actions. We educate and act against authoritarian past(s) so that they do not return to the democratic societies of the future. We must work together to build the future of ethical, responsible, and qualified leaders who defend human rights, and defend Ukrainian sovereignty.”
