It is extremely important to feel the support of friends, relatives, colleagues... Especially now, when our country is at war period, when we are trying to resist the enemy.

We, the librarians of Sumy State University, express our great gratitude to our colleagues from the libraries of our friendly countries for the solidarity and support of Ukraine and Ukrainians in this difficult time for us. Funds, food, medicine, clothing; access to the necessary information resources, popularization of Ukrainian writers’ works in their countries, works on culture and history of Ukraine, termination of cooperation with representatives of the cultural sphere of the Russian Federation, organization of free language courses for refugees...

We receive the words of support every day and they are especially important to us:

Poland 

"We know and we do what we can as civilians".

 

"None of us believe what Putin says. We help as much as we can and we will do it for as long as it takes! We are with you!"

 

"We want to help You very much, we want Ukraine to be free. Now Ukraine is fighting for peace all over the Europe and World. We do not believe fakes and lies. Of course, we support Your efforts to close the airspace over Ukraine. We think about You and support You wholeheartedly. Hold on and tell Your friends that we greet You and support You very much!"

 

France 

 

"Nous assistons tous et toutes avec inquiétude et sentiment d’impuissance à l’invasion militaire en Ukraine.

À notre niveau nous ne pouvons qu’exprimer notre solidarité aux collègues et à l’ensemble des Ukrainiens".

 

"Le français soutient l’ensemble de la communauté universitaire ukrainienne et affirment leur solidarité au peuple ukrainien".

 

Courage et force à vous! Nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous!

 

Germany

"I looked Sumy up on the map, you are there next to the russian border and must be in the thick of it! Please do hold up! Our thoughts are with you, your brave colleagues and people. Rest assured that in Germany there is independent news and there's no doubt about what is happening".

"We stand with you with all our heart against violence and hate and send you the best of all wishes: Peace and Freedom!"
