The Lyon-Ukraine association was created in 2016 to promote Ukrainian culture in Lyon. A true offshoot of civil society, it was founded during the Ukrainian community gatherings in Lyon in support of the Euromaidan revolution in 2013-2014.

Since February 24, 2022, the association has redoubled its activities by dedicating itself to humanitarian aid in Ukraine, helping Ukrainian refugees, and promoting Ukrainian culture. Its budget for 2022, mainly consisting of material donations sent to Ukraine, is around €750,000.

A member since its creation in 2016, I was elected administrator in June 2022 by the General Assembly, and I served as secretary from 2022 to 2024. I am currently responsible for its cultural division.
