On September 23, the exhibition "Indomitable Ukraine" opened in London under the patronage of General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK. The exhibition is organized by the Bogdan Gubsky Foundation and the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War (War Museum).
The exhibition is dedicated to the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people and the resilience of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the confrontation with the russian aggressor. This is a project about the struggle for Freedom and Democracy in the heart of Europe.
The exhibition presents more than 600 artifacts collected during the russian invasion. Among them are trophies captured in battle, as well as items collected by museum expeditions in the liberated territories and mobile groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the places of combat. The exhibition shows the reality in which Ukraine and Ukrainians have been living, fighting and defeating evil for the past three and a half years, defending their own identity and sovereignty.
Also among the exhibits are chilling photographs of Ukrainian children who were killed in the war.
The opening of the exhibition was attended by more than 30 ambassadors of the G7, the EU and other countries, members of the British Parliament, politicians, leading British media, volunteers, the public and family members of British volunteers who died in the battles for Ukraine.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi spoke at the opening, noting that each artifact of the exhibition carries the spirit of the indomitable will of Ukraine.
"Every room in this exhibition — from Attack and Destruction to Resistance Points, Veterans, and Photos of Heroes — is a living testament to our times. This is more than an art project. It is proof that a country that strives for freedom — a country that others tried to destroy — continues to live, fight, recover, and inspire," said Combat General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
Zaluzhnyi stressed that this exhibition is not only about the past and present, but also about the lessons of a war that the world has never known.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said at the opening of the exhibition that Ukraine's allies need to do more to help Ukraine, but assured that Ukrainians will win this war.
"Ukrainians, my friends, will win. Ukraine will win. This is a war for independence. They are fighting for their land, they are fighting for their statehood," Johnson said.
In his speech at the opening of the exhibition, the High Commissioner (Ambassador) of Canada Ralph Goodale noted that Canada is part of a coalition of those willing to work out security guarantees for Ukraine and assured that the Ukrainian state has the right to sovereignty and prosperity.
Ukrainian volunteer and medic Yuliia Paievska ("Taira") stated in her speech: "Fear will never rule in our souls. The world has already seen tyrants and their evil empires - they inevitably fall."
