    Our Reaction to the Russian attack Solidarity with Ukraine

    The  Goethe Institute reacts with great dismay to the Russian attack on Ukraine. Our thoughts are with our colleagues and partners in the country and with their families. While economic sanctions against Russia are now essential, we believe civil society exchange and engagement is now more important than ever.
