Vitsche

Founded in January 2022 in Berlin, Vitsche emerged driven by the imminent threat of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Our vision: free, protected, and thriving Ukraine that is an equal member of the European Union.

We confront russian disinformation, amplifying Ukrainian voices. Embracing the importance of Ukrainian subjectivity, we advance a decolonial perspective on Ukraine’s history, forging a path to a more just future.

Addressing urgent needs of Ukraine is a core commitment, campaigning for support to alleviate the hardships of the russian war. In Germany, we strengthen the Ukrainian community. With cultural and educational events, we foster unity and understanding, bridging diverse backgrounds.

A safe, democratic Ukraine ensures Europe’s stability and security. Join us, to empower Ukraine and safeguard truth.
