Natalya says about the immersive exhibition "Ukraine: Land of the Brave" and her upcoming plans:

«The main task of the exhibition is to convey to the international community reliable, truthful information about the war in Ukraine, because citizens of other countries do not realize the scale and tragedy of the events and the threat to humanity from russia. Demonstration of this exhibition offline around world is a good opportunity to raise funds for the needs of Ukraine, visitors buy tickets and thus make their contribution.

Our task is to cover as many countries as possible and show an immersive exhibition that carries not only information, but also allows you to see everything emotionally through the eyes of the participants of these events. And this is an important and powerful tool to overcome the wall of russian propaganda and disinformation at the human-to-human level. Now we are preparing for the presentation of the virtual tour and the website of the virtual exhibition "Ukraine: Land of the Brave" in Toronto, Canada. Thanks to UCF for the support and the opportunity to make this idea come true».
