Standing Together for Ukraine

The Association was founded by Ukrainians living in Fukuoka Prefecture to enhance our efforts in supporting Ukraine in response to the war initiated by the Russian Federation.

We are deeply grateful to the Fukuoka Government and the people of the prefecture for standing with Ukraine during this difficult time—providing financial and humanitarian aid, welcoming refugees, and ensuring they have the necessary resources for their new lives.

Movement: #StandWithUkraine – Fukuoka

The goal of this movement is to stand with Ukraine against the war initiated by Russia. Ukrainians, along with many Japanese volunteers and supporters from other countries, actively participate in organizing #StandWithUkraine – Fukuoka events.

We arrange and take part in rallies and charity bazaars to raise awareness about the war in Ukraine, highlight ways to support Ukraine, and run donation campaigns. At every event, we are deeply moved by the overwhelming support and solidarity shown by attendees.
