The European Union continues its support for Ukraine's cultural and creative sectors with the selection of four new large projects, bringing Creative Europe funding for Ukraine to €7 million in 2024-2025. These projects are ZMINA Resilience, Culture Helps, Culture Horizons, and UkrAinian cultural eXchange with the European Union (UAxEU).

In October 2024, the European Commission published a special call under Creative Europe to support the Ukrainian cultural and creative sectors with an initial budget of €5 million.  At the Ukrainian Recovery Conference in July 2025, Commissioner Glenn Micallef announced a €2 million top-up as part of the Team Europe approach for Cultural Heritage in Ukraine, raising total financial support to €7 million.

Through this funding, the EU supports Ukrainian cultural and creative organisations, as well as professionals and artists addressing the ongoing and future consequences of Russia's war of aggression, in cooperation with organisations from other Creative Europe countries. The funding supports cultural heritage preservation and artistic performances both inside and outside of Ukraine.

Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport Commissioner Glenn Micallef (pictured) said: "Europe stands steadfast with Ukraine. Culture plays a vital role in preserving unity and building resilience, especially in times of war. I've said this several times: to destroy a nation, you target its culture. This is why we have increased our financial support under the Creative Europe call for Ukraine's cultural and creative sectors. I warmly congratulate the projects selected under the 2025 call, which will contribute to strengthen the resilience and post-war recovery of Ukraine's cultural and creative sectors."
