We Are Ukrainians is a media about connection.
Between people.
Between generations.
Between Ukraine and the world.
We Are Ukrainians is a media outlet about people, roots, culture, and the shared experience of Ukrainians around the world.
We want to be a place where Ukraine speaks with its own voice. Where you can read about borscht not as “beetroot soup”, but as part of the intangible heritage.
Where embroidery is not “ethno-onion”, but a language of symbols.
Where a Ukrainian surname is a thread to one’s own history.
Where the diaspora is not “people who left”, but part of the great Ukrainian world.
This is a site for those who live in Ukraine. For those who are abroad. For the diaspora. For foreigners who want to better understand Ukrainians – through culture, traditions, cuisine, language, family, communities and modern life.
The Ukrainian world is very large today. It is estimated that 20–25 million people of Ukrainian origin live outside Ukraine, and in Europe alone, at the end of 2025, 4.35 million people who left Ukraine were under temporary protection. This means that the conversation about Ukraine has long gone beyond the borders of one country.
On this site you will find:
- stories of Ukrainians in different countries;
- texts about traditions – from Christmas Eve with 12 dishes to the wedding loaf and rushnyk;
- materials about the Ukrainian heritage that the world recognizes – from borscht to Petrykivka painting;
- texts about genealogy, surnames and searching for relatives;
- guides about the diaspora, communities, documents and legal issues.
We Are Ukrainians is a place where the world gets to know Ukraine through people.
And wherever Ukrainians are, they can recognize themselves.
