Olena Kovalska noted that Crimean Tatar studios should become part of the project, stressing that Crimea is an integral part of Ukraine. “We want the leaders of Ukrainian students in the world to have the support of the Ukrainian state. That is why we are creating this coalition with the aim of coordination and close interaction with the state. This is our general vision of such support,” she said.

Olga Budnyk emphasized that the Global Coalition is being created with the support of First Lady Olena Zelenska and at the initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Fund of the President of Ukraine for the Support of Education, Science and Sports, the Ukrainian Institute and the office of the Crimean Platform. “When we created this coalition, we combined all efforts here in Ukraine to make Ukrainian studies as popular as possible in the world. It is important to understand that within this coalition we also want to provide the main messages that are important to spread around the world,” — she noted.

Tamila Tasheva emphasized that one of the panels was held within the framework of the summit of the international Crimean platform, at which Olena Zelenska called on the member states of the Crimean platform to join this initiative. “Now we are developing the possibility of creating a project office in order, in particular, to contact the participants of the Crimean Platform, who, we hope, will provide support to the coalition in various formats,” Tasheva added.
