Thus, schoolchildren of the Riga English Grammar School visited the Embassy and learned about Ukraine, its culture and traditions.

In his address to the children Ambassador of Ukraine to Latvia Olexandr Mischenko stressed on the European integration aspirations of Ukraine as a European country, democratic values, that our country sticks to, and told about commemoration in Ukraine the Remembrance and Reconciliation Day and Day of Victory over Nazism in the Second World War, as well as about the Ukrainian symbol of these dates – the poppy of memory.
