Translating Freedom: Language, Culture, and International Solidarity in Ukraine's Fight

In honour of RMIT's inaugural Ukrainian Higher Education T&I cohort, Ambassador Myroshnychenko will deliver a lecture on the role of language and culture in Ukraine's struggle for freedom.

Appointed in early 2022, Ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko serves as Ukraine's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Australia, with accreditation also to New Zealand. Since taking office, he has been a tireless advocate for Ukraine, securing broader support from both nations. He has highlighted Australia's position as the largest non-NATO military supporter of Ukraine and stressed the enduring importance of international solidarity in the face of Russian aggression.

This lecture will provide a unique opportunity to reflect on the intersection of diplomacy, culture, and translation in times of conflict.
