## **MISSION**
The Ukrainian Institute London (UIL) is an independent charity dedicated to championing Ukrainian culture and shaping the conversation about Ukraine in the UK and beyond. We bring together experts, creatives, policymakers, and active citizens to explore Ukrainian perspectives on global challenges.
Through our diverse programme of events, educational courses, and digital content, we provide audiences worldwide with nuanced and reliable information about Ukraine. We shed light on Ukraine’s knowledge and experiences to highlight the urgency of international solidarity in pursuit of democratic security in Europe and beyond.
The UIL is an independent charity registered in England and Wales. It is affiliated with the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.
_‘EUNIC London highly values its collaboration with the Ukrainian Institute London, particularly in these challenging times. Our partnership has fostered cultural exchange and dialogue, bringing European and Ukrainian voices together in a meaningful way. We look forward to continuing this important work, promoting shared values and artistic expression across our communities.’_
## **MARIOS THEOCHAROUS EUNIC LONDON CO-PRESIDENT**
_‘It has been a great honour to work with the Ukrainian Institute London. The event in celebration of the life of Victoria Amelina was especially significant and one that I will never forget. It was an extraordinary evening capturing the love of her friends and colleagues in a moment of pure defiance and even joy. I am still moved by the memory of the speeches and readings. Thank you, Ukrainian Institute London, for all that you do — please keep doing it!’_

## **OBJECTIVES**
Position UIL as an influential platform for fostering discussions about global challenges collaboratively.
- Expand our programme of activities to reach diverse audiences, and deepen collaborations with creatives, scholars, and policymakers in the UK and worldwide.
- Broaden our community of supporters by engaging individuals who share our values and are willing to contribute time, ideas, and financial support.
_The work of the Ukrainian Institute London is vital for keeping Ukraine in the public eye in the UK. I am proud to be a benefactor of the Institute.’_

## **VISION**
At the UIL, we see Ukraine as a rich source of invaluable experience. In the years ahead, our goal is to broaden our initiatives to share the lessons Ukraine has to offer, helping the international community address crucial issues such as justice, environmental challenges, neo-imperialist warfare, and other urgent matters affecting the UK, Ukraine, and the world at large.
In light of the recently signed historic 100-year partnership agreement between the UK and Ukraine, our role has become more crucial than ever in strengthening cultural and intellectual ties between the two nations. Our long-term aspiration is to establish Ukraine House in London — a dedicated space for educational and public-facing activities, promoting international cooperation, fostering solidarity, and driving social change.

## **OTHERS ABOUT US**
**MAIRI RYAN** _.§ **HEAD OF EVENTS, RSA**
_‘It was a privilege to collaborate with the UIL to examine the environmental impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine. As the war continues and intensifies, it is vital to highlight the courage and creativity of those working to rebuild in ways that enable both humanity and nature to flourish._
_The Institute assembled an expert panel who spoke vividly of the scale and severity of the ongoing damage to natural services and ecosystems, while also presenting new ideas, alliances and innovations across design, technology, construction, policy, and law that are offering hope for a future focused on justice, recovery, and regeneration.’_
**JUDY TROTTER HEAD OF ADULT EDUCATION, JW3**

## **A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR**
When I joined the Ukrainian Institute London four years ago, the world was a different place. We were in the midst of a global pandemic, and I vividly remember wondering how our troops in Eastern Ukraine would survive, facing both COVID-19 and ongoing shelling from the Russian army and their proxies. This was the time when Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine largely faded from the global agenda, including here in the UK.
For me and my colleagues at the UIL, this posed the challenge of reigniting interest in Ukraine. We did this by presenting it as a diverse, multicultural, multilingual political nation with a complex history, a challenging present, and an ambitious future. Eighteen months later, the country was thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
As the world turned its attention to Ukraine, the UIL — still a small charity at the time, with just two part-time members of staff — rose to the challenge of becoming a key voice on Ukraine in the UK and, often, internationally. We explained not only the genocidal nature of Russia’s war but also the historical context behind this new wave of imperialist violence.
For us, it wasn’t enough to simply react to events on the front lines; we needed to drive the conversation, ensuring Ukraine was seen not just as a victim but as a central player in this new geopolitical reality.
9
Over the past year, we watched our efforts bear fruit: the interest in our history, literature and language courses grew exponentially. Our public events attracted new audiences who have just begun to uncover Ukraine’s crucial role in the future of Europe as we forged new and exciting partnerships with many major cultural institutions in London, laying the groundwork for long-term cooperation.
We met the rising interest in Ukraine by publishing nuanced, accessible analyses in top media outlets, bringing together some of the brightest minds from Ukraine in dialogue with their British counterparts, and continuing to showcase Ukrainian culture to London audiences through our flagship initiatives like the annual film festival. While the people of Ukraine showed incredible resilience at home, we worked tirelessly to amplify their voices abroad.
One of this year’s highlights for me was a panel discussion we cohosted with the Royal Society of Arts, highlighting the Ukrainian experience in tackling global environmental challenges. Another significant moment was watching previously small initiatives launched by the UIL evolve into strong, fully-fledged institutions. Our _London Ukrainian Review_ is now a joint publication of the UIL, the IWM — the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna — and Academic Studies Press.
None of these achievements would have been possible without the backing of our growing community of UIL Friends and Benefactors, the guidance of our dedicated Board of Trustees led by Dr Ursula Woolley, and the enthusiasm of the many supporters the Institute has gathered over the years. I’m thrilled to see the UIL executive team expanding to meet the increasing demands of our rapidly growing organisation, and grateful for the energy they bring.
Just this past year, I spoke to diverse audiences from North America’s West Coast to India, and what united them was a deep desire to learn from Ukraine. The people of Ukraine have much to offer the world: their relentless pursuit of freedom, a deep commitment to independence and democracy, and a remarkable ability to unite in times of crisis. The treasure trove of Ukraine’s wisdom and defiance has finally been uncovered.
**DR OLESYA KHROMEYCHUK DIRECTOR, UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE LONDON**

## **A NOTE FROM THE CHAIR**
This has been our second full reporting year since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The experience and perspective from Ukraine on questions of democracy, freedom and security are invaluable to us here in the UK and to the wider world. It is up to the Ukrainian Institute London, with our guiding aim of educating people in the UK about Ukraine, to make sure this understanding and solidarity continues to grow.
This year we presented an expanded series of film programmes, from gorgeous classics to the latest feature releases and documentaries from Ukraine, including the harrowing but exemplary Oscar-winning _20 Days in Mariupol_ and the beautiful dark-comic drama of _Pamfir_ , with screenings in Glasgow now as well as in London.
In work which pays rich cultural dividends in the medium-to-long term, our Ukrainian language school has continued to grow; and with project funding from the Ukrainian Embassy in London, we organised a literary translation workshop to bring together translators of Ukrainian into English.
Our director, Dr Olesya Khromeychuk, became a member of PEN Ukraine this year in a deserved recognition of the scale of the impact of her work and her writing. Her TED talk in New York on what the world can learn from Ukraine’s fight for democracy was widely praised. She published a ‘long-read’ in _The Guardian_ in January about the dangers of Ukraine fatigue. Among her public engagements this year were talks at the Jaipur Literature Festival, Trinity College Dublin, Queen’s University Belfast, and the keynote speech at the ASEEES Southern Conference for Slavic Studies.
11
With some sadness, but also a great sense of achievement, we finished the final term of our English language classes for newly-displaced Ukrainians. They had been generously supported by, among others, British Land, Grove End Housing, Say Property, and West London Welcome. In the spring we also said farewell to Deputy Director Maria Montague and to Communications Officer Phoebe Page, and in the summer to English school coordinator Olha Plyushch.
It has been a pleasure to work with others on the Board of Trustees and have the active support and involvement of all our volunteers, Friends, Benefactors, and Patrons, as well as our growing network of longer-term and newer institutional partners. We remain extremely grateful to British Land, Say Property, IWM Vienna, and the Open Society Foundation, among other sponsors and funders, for their support for key elements of our work.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to record our thanks and our appreciation for the executive team which has achieved all the Institute’s work over the past year, especially to our outstanding Director, Dr Olesya Khromeychuk and our longstanding outgoing Deputy Director Maria Montague.
Our thanks also go to Operations Manager Oksana Popova, Programme Curator Olga Sydorushkina, Communications Officers Phoebe Page and Anton Trofimchuk, and PR Officer Maliek Banat, as well as Editor of the _London Ukrainian Review_ Sasha Dovzhyk, Creative Industries Advisor Constance Uzwyshyn, Kultura Fellow Maryna Dubyna, English School Fellow Olha Lupuliak and Events Fellow Sofiia Melnyk.
We have a top-quality team and a strong and growing network to tackle, alongside others, the job of building knowledge of and support for Ukraine as it continues its fight for freedom and democracy. We look forward to the challenge and the joy of that work over the year ahead.

## **PROJECTS**
## **LONDON UKRAINIAN REVIEW**
_The London Ukrainian Review_ is an open-access journal that tackles global challenges through the prism of Ukraine while adopting a distinctly internationalist perspective on the Ukrainian past and present. It not only counters the clichéd portrayal of Ukrainian culture, society, and politics but also highlights forgotten aspects of history, firmly situating the country in the global context. The journal’s pool of contributors unites creative practitioners, writers, academics, policymakers, and Ukraine experts, providing an independent platform for cross-cultural dialogue. The editor of _The London Ukrainian Review_ is Dr Sasha Dovzhyk.
## **Publishing partners**
_The London Ukrainian Review_ is published by the Ukrainian Institute London in partnership with the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) and Academic Studies Press (ASP).
The IWM is a community of scholars pursuing advanced research in the humanities and social sciences. For four decades, the Institute has promoted intellectual exchange across disciplines, between academia and society, and among different regions of the world. It hosts more than a hundred fellows each year, organises public exchanges, and publishes books, articles, and digital fora.
ASP is an independent scholarly publisher based in Boston, MA, devoted to advancing knowledge and understanding in the humanities and social sciences, with an emphasis on Slavic and Jewish studies.
13
Special Issue 3 (2023) of the _London Ukrainian Review_ was dedicated to the memory of **Victoria Amelina** , a Ukrainian writer and war crimes investigator killed in the Russian missile attack on the city of Kramatorsk on 27 June 2023. The UIL is grateful to Oleksandr Amelin and Emma Shercliff for the permission to reproduce Victoria Amelina’s previously unpublished prose piece and three poems translated for the _London Ukrainian Review._
Issue 1 (2024) examined Russia’s **war on nature** in Ukraine and its global repercussions, reflecting on how Ukrainian and international responses to Russia’s wanton damage to the environment shape our present and future.
The publication of Issue 2 (2024) marked the eightieth anniversary of the Soviet deportation of **Crimean Tatars** , discussed the challenges faced by the peninsula’s Indigenous people in Russia-occupied Crimea, and their ongoing fight for justice.

## **UKRAINIAN FILM FESTIVAL**
‘Side by Side’, Ukrainian Institute London’s fourth annual Ukrainian Film Festival, presented screenings of feature, documentary, and short films, with each film providing a window into the life in contemporary Ukraine, the astonishing resilience of its people, and the power of solidarity in the face of war. Our programme included the screening of _20 Days in Mariupol_ , dir. Mstyslav Chernov (which went on to win an Oscar) and we added five additional screenings of the film due to popular demand. The film festival was held in September 2023 at Curzon Soho, UIL’s longstanding partner. We held Q&As with filmmakers and most screenings were sold out.
‘Side by Side’ foregrounded themes of humanity and compassion in the darkest of times, the strength of the human spirit in simple things, and the warmth of love in contexts such as war, where it wouldn’t seem to exist. With this programme, we invited audiences to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and discover the country’s brave, innovative new cinema.
The 2023 Ukrainian Film Festival was curated by the Ukrainian Institute London’s Film Festival Fellow, Olga Sydorushkina, with the kind support of British Land, SAY Property, Principle Clean, HUB, Novotel Paddington, and Jaguar Building Services.

## **TRANSLATION WORKSHOP**
Our work on enriching and expanding access to Ukrainian literature for an English-speaking audience was supported by a literary translation workshop, funded by the Embassy of Ukraine to the United Kingdom, and coordinated by UIL Kultura Fellow, Maryna Dubyna. With rigorous review from an expert panel, six up-andcoming literary translators were recognised for their translations of Ukrainian literature. Their pieces were subsequently published in _The London Ukrainian Review_ .

## **COURSES LITERATURA**
Now in its fourth year, our Literatura online course attracted over 80 students eager to learn more about Ukrainian literary culture.
In the third year of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, Literatura adopted an antiimperialist lens. It explored how writers and editors across the history of Ukrainian literature have fought the Russian Empire through their writing. Our 8-week course in Ukrainian literature took its students all the way from the Romantics to the avantgarde, introducing the modernists and the dissidents, and shedding light on postmodernists and feminists alike, acquainting our students with the rich literary scene of contemporary Ukraine.
The course is designed with no expectation of prior knowledge. Each seminar was delivered by an expert in Ukrainian literature, including leading academics from Ukraine, the UK, and the US. All seminars were held in English, and all texts were made available to students enrolled on the course in English translation as well as the original.
Course coordinator: Maryna Dubyna, Kultura Fellow at the Ukrainian Institute London.

**PROF. DAVID JOHANSSON UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA**
**HILARY FAKTOR WRITER**
_‘Stung by life, Franko called poetry “the saving honey” for its nourishment and sweetness, and today a large, rich hive of it buzzes inside the Ukrainian Institute London. But Literatura is more than soul-food — it’s medicine, the psychological component of the autoimmune system — and the scholars assembled by the UIL prescribe a powerful regimen. The art they present cools the pain; it’s medicine that still works. It never expires. We can feel it working, and its healing energy is a relief. Just so. This was not a course, but a journey — one which left me feeling honoured, humbled, educated, inspired, and grateful. Literatura medicine is potent stuff: it stimulates hope, and hope, this course reveals, is a friend of victory.’_
_‘As a Canadian with Ukrainian heritage, I’m thrilled with the experience I had in the Literatura course. I enrolled to support Ukrainian art and culture and felt I would appreciate the course, but although I went in with high expectations, this course was even better than I had hoped. The assigned readings were thoughtful and informative, and the professors’ energy and enthusiasm for their subject matter were contagious. I’m currently enrolled in an English degree and it was an added bonus to discuss the Ukrainian literary canon alongside my learnings of the English canon.’_

## **UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL**
In 2024, we observed that enthusiasm for the Ukrainian language remained high, and we aim to keep our students actively involved and advancing.
Our short intensive courses have proven to be highly popular among individuals with constrained time for language learning, and we will continue to offer them, alongside individual tuition and regular group classes, for which we have welcomed several new teachers to the school.
## **Courses: in-person (London and online)**
Beginners’ Ukrainian
- Upper Beginners’ Ukrainian
Additionally, we have enhanced our level placement tests to ensure greater accuracy and revised our syllabi for various proficiency levels. Also, we have appointed Olha Lupuliak to manage our school’s Instagram page, further fostering our online Ukrainian language community. Next year, we hope to offer new Ukrainian language courses for specific learning needs and levels, as well as increase the opportunity for students to practise Ukrainian in person.
In 2024, we continued hosting our _Kaviarnia_ , a regular online Ukrainian language café, offering a relaxed space to practise Ukrainian informally while enjoying a cup of _kava_ .

## **STUDENT TESTIMONIES**
**MARC P. BERENSON UIL STUDENT** bh
_‘Taking a deep dive into studying Ukrainian through the intensive course with Svitlana for ten hours in a single week was just what I needed to reinvigorate my interest in the language and to brush up on grammar in between semesters. Svitlana proved to be an excellent, patient and ever-cheerful teacher, easily moderating a class of six through the internet. As there is no one single path to language acquisition, mixing up the excellent weekly classes with a week of intensive learning a few times a year would be excellent!’_
**DANIEL COOKE UIL STUDENT**
_‘I have really enjoyed my language journey at the Ukrainian Language School over the past year. With brilliant individual tuition I have made much faster progress than I expected and am looking forward to continuing my studies’._

## **IRYNA ODREKHIVSKA, UIL UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE TEACHER**
_‘Since joining the Ukrainian Institute London in January 2024 as a Lecturer of Ukrainian, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding adult learners through their discovery of the Ukrainian language and culture. Our online classroom has transformed into more than just a place of learning; we have become a strong team where friendships flourish. Together, we’ve spent all terms of 2024 exploring Ukrainian grammar, developing our favourite colloquial expressions, building our understanding of Ukrainian culture and society, sharing jokes and plans for future trips to Ukraine. It was a genuine delight to spend workday evenings with like-minded learners from all corners of the UK. I can only say: Так тримати!’_

## **ENGLISH LANGUAGE SCHOOL**
After two years of providing free English language courses to over 1,455 displaced Ukrainians in London, we have wrapped up the programme in June 2024 but continue to be involved with the displaced community thanks to connections forged through this experience. This effort was led by an incredible team of 28 teachers and 18 volunteers, overseen by former UIL Deputy Director, Maria Montague, and English School Coordinator, Olha Plyushch. We are extremely proud of the progress made by our students, with more than a quarter saying that lessons provided by the UIL have helped them in securing employment upon course completion.
This would not have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors Grove End Housing, Say Property, and in particular Debra Yudolph, who have supported our English school at every stage since its launch.

## Section E: Financial review and annual accounts
The Ukrainian Institute London (UIL) experienced significant growth in both income and activities during the financial years FY22–23 as it was a pivotal year, marked by an unprecedented surge in donations and grant funding, far surpassing the levels seen in previous years. This period of heightened support enabled UIL to expand its initiatives and solidify its operations. In FY23–24, our total income reached £431,858. This represents a 12% decrease from the £488,079 recorded in the previous year, but continues to reflect strong financial performance amid ongoing challenges.
We are very grateful to volunteer accountant Carol Thornhill for her support with our annual financial report, as well as her ongoing guidance and expertise in charity finance.
## **Donations**
We are sincerely grateful for each and every donation towards UIL’s work. Between August 2023 and July 2024, UIL received 120 one-off donations and approximately 60 individuals signed up to make an annual donation via our Friends scheme.
In 2023, the UIL was awarded a $180,000 grant from the Open Society Foundations (OSF) to support our core costs for the period from April 2023 through March 2026, with half of the funding being a matching grant. Thanks to the generous support of new donors during the period from August 2023 to February 2024, the UIL successfully met this challenge and was awarded an additional £53,200 in match-funding.
Individual contributions included a £5,000 corporate donation from Unicorn Data Solutions, along with donations from new Benefactors.
We are deeply grateful to OSF and to all the individual supporters who contributed to the success of the fundraising challenge.
## **Income from charitable activities**
In FY23–24, the UIL raised £244,944 from charitable activities as compared to £316,397 in FY23–24. This change reflects the natural conclusion of several successful projects, which reached their planned completion during the year. Income from charitable activities includes funding for cultural projects, ticket sales from events, and student fees for our educational courses.
42
## **Project funding**
In FY23–24, UIL’s project-restricted funding amounted to £93,895. This included funding raised for the UIL English School for displaced Ukrainians, which has supported over 1,500 learners since 2022 and concluded in May 2024. This impactful project was made possible through generous funding over the period 2022– 2024, including a £60,000 grant from Grove End Housing and £32,000 from Land Aid, alongside contributions from British Land, the Pret Foundation, H&F Giving, West London Welcome, and individual donors.
In addition to the English School, UIL secured grant funding and sponsorship for specific projects such as the annual Ukrainian Film Festival (supported by Film Hub London and corporate donation from Say Property, Hub Residential and Principle Cleaning),
fellowships for displaced Ukrainians to work with UIL in FY23–24 (supported by the London Community Foundation), the Translation Project (funded by the Embassy of Ukraine), and the publication of the _London Ukrainian Review_ (supported by the Institute for Human Sciences, IWM).
## **Educational courses**
Revenue from student fees for our educational courses exceeded £121,000 in FY23–24, up from £100,000 in FY22–23, driven by growing student interest in learning the Ukrainian language and exploring Ukrainian history and literature.
## **Events**
Income from our events in FY23– 24 totalled £15,841, compared to £5,192 in FY22–23. The increase was due to targeted funding from
the European Cultural Foundation and support for event costs from EUNIC London.
## **Financial overview and planning for the future**
The trustees are pleased to report that the UIL has maintained a strong financial position during FY23-24, with total income of £431,858 and total expenditure of £313,986, resulting in a net surplus of £117,872. As of the year-end, the organisation carried forward total funds of £321,184, comprising £310,301 in unrestricted funds and £10,883 in restricted funds. Our reserves policy requires us to retain a minimum of six months cash funding for core operating costs and to provide a necessary buffer to manage project funding cycles and respond to unforeseen financial challenges. Trustees’ responsibility for ensuring the long-term sustainability of UIL will also require over the coming year
43
some spend on office space and on staffing focused on income-generation. This in turn will give us the capacity and flexibility to respond to emerging opportunities. While all UIL projects are self-funded through targeted grants, donations and corporate sponsorship, unrestricted funds are essential for covering core operational and management costs, enabling the smooth delivery of activities and supporting strategic growth. Securing multiyear grant agreements to fund core operations will be a key focus to ensure financial stability and continuity. As part of our fundraising strategy, we plan to launch designated campaigns aimed at ensuring the legacy of the UIL and expanding our reach. A key priority will be increasing the UIL’s ability to serve as a platform for meaningful discussions on Ukraine in the context of global challenges. We aim to build a stronger community of supporters to amplify our impact and ensure sustained success.
The trustees are deeply grateful to all our benefactors and corporate sponsors, whose support underpins the Institute’s achievements and allows us to plan confidently for the future.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JULY 2024
The Ukrainian Institute London is a CIO foundation, registered 14 December 2016 under charity number 1170753.
## **Notes 1. Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice. This is applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102 — effective 1 January 2015) — (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
## **b) Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **c) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised when received.
## **d) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and when the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. This is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
47
## **Notes Accounting policies**
## **e) Funding accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **f) Expenditure**
Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities on an accrual basis, inclusive of value added tax and it is allocated between expenditure incurred in promoting the activities and objectives of the charity (expenditure on raising funds) and expenditure incurred directly to the fulfilment of the charity's objectives (charitable activities).
Support costs are related to those functions that assist the work of the charity. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel and governance costs which support the charity's activities, they also include management costs although management is often directly involved with fund raising and the running of charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities according to the nature of the support.
## **g) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **h) Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and where the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
