UKRAINE
Ukraine is a land of resilience, where the echoes of ancient castles and golden-domed churches meet the vibrant energy of its cities and the unbreakable spirit of its people. Despite ongoing challenges, Ukraine's population of over 38 million continues to embody hope and determination.
The nation balances the wisdom of its elders with the aspirations of its youth. Amidst the ongoing conflict, Ukraine remains steadfast in its pursuit of sovereignty and prosperity, drawing strength from its rich cultural heritage and the unwavering resolve of its citizens.

Significance as a Target Nation
Ukraine is pivotal in the region. The saying goes, “the way Ukraine goes, is the way the rest of the region goes”.
The national leaders from Eastern Europe – Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Georgia and Armenia – have a good relationship as a regional team and work together well. They support each other and cooperate with new schools and programs that are run in the region.
Due to this and our previous work in Ukraine, YWAM Montana has an invitation to work not just in Ukraine but the region.
