Ukrainian Culture Minister Offers Resignation as President Zelenskyy Urges Tighter Spending During Wartime Ukraine is facing a critical situation as Russia continues to attack its territory and undermine its sovereignty. In this context, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has urged his government to prioritize defense spending and cut down on unnecessary costs in other areas, including culture. Tkachenko's Resignation and Defense of Culture Within an hour of Zelenskiy's address, Tkachenko announced on Telegram that he had tendered his resignation. He said he did so because of "a wave of misunderstanding about the importance of wartime culture." He argued that "culture in wartime is important as this war is not just about territory but also people - our memory, history, language and creativity despite the war." He said that "private and state funding for culture in wartime is no less important than for drones. Culture is the shield for our identity and our borders."
