Our ambassadors

Meet the dedicated individuals amplifying our mission. 

“Even if you cannot rely on the international system of peace and security, you can still always rely on people. Ordinary people can change world history quicker than UN intervention. Protect Ukraine is an example of this.”

Oleksandra Matviichuk

Nobel Peace Prize 2022. Human rights lawyer, head of the Centre for Civil Liberties.

“Ukrainians are fighting for freedom, democracy and the rule of law, which we were given as a birth gift and hardly appreciate anymore. The future of liberal democracy seems to be in better hands with them than with us.”

Tommy Wieringa

Award-winning Dutch author.

“Ukraine belongs to the European family. Europe needs to support Ukraine, now more than ever. Protect Ukraine sets an example on how to act.”

Kajsa Ollongren

“The science of crafting dezinformatsiya is rooted in the Russian identity. Astolphe de Custine remarked in the 18th century: ‘Everything in Russia is deception; Russian despotism reigns supreme in remaking facts. Today this still applies.”

Han Bouwmeester

Professor of Operational Military Science at the Netherlands Defence Academy

“Act, Navigate, Transform, Shape the future (ANTS). The war with axis of evil is winnable. Victory of Ukraine is the best strategy to defend humanity, values and dignity of all of us and de-imperialize Russia.”

Hanna Hopko

“For 11 years now, Ukrainians have been selflessly defending their democracy, their territory, their freedom and independence. Helping Ukraine in this fight is the sacred duty of all Europeans who believe in democracy, in the rule of law, in the fact that good always triumphs over evil.”

Andrey Kurkov

Ukrainian author and public intellectual

“Ukraine reminds us of fundamental things such as fighting to protect your family and loved ones, your community, town and country, your freedom…”

Borja de Lasheras

“Ukraine has no other choice but to remain strong, shielding freedom against tyranny, justice against brute force, national sovereignty against foolish imperial ambitions.”

Daria Kaleniuk
