That's according to the Ministry of Culture and Information Picy of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

Both parties discussed the prospects for further coeration in the preservation of cultural heritage, literature initiatives for visually impaired pele, as well as interaction between Ukrainian and German cultural institutions.

Karandieiev thanked Germany for its support and assistance in preserving Ukrainian cultural heritage during the full-scale war, particularly for technical assistance such as packaging equipment and power generators, which helped save museum valuables.

He also reported on the recent destruction of libraries in Kherson, including the Kherson Dnipro Chaika Regional Children's Library and the Kherson es Honchar Regional Universal Scientific Library.

The latter of them not only served as an educational institution, but was also a methodical center that provided access to literature for pele with visual impairments and had equipment for printing books in Braille.

"We consider it important for Ukraine to adhere to Eurean values, which determine the level of attitude towards all citizens, including pele with disabilities. We will be grateful to the German ministry for a joint program aimed at meeting the needs of Ukrainian visually impaired pele through the provision of Braille books and audio books. After all, we are already focusing on the post-war recovery of Ukraine, and it is important for us to introduce a new philoshy of activity of cultural institutions," Karandieiev said.

He expressed he for coeration between German and Ukrainian cultural institutions and prosed the idea of the joint develment of modern tourist centers and infrastructure around cultural objects. He also prosed that Germany take patronage of certain Ukrainian institutions.

"For example, the Elbphilharmonie could conclude a respective memorandum on coeration with a philharmonic in Ukraine. Such coeration would make it possible to expand the cultural horizons of our institutions, and, most importantly, to introduce modern forms of work organization," Karandieiev said.

She also announced the beginning of coeration with an Odesa art gallery and noted the active participation of Ukrainian filmmakers at the Berlin Film Festival and in the program of the Eurean Sidarity Fund for Ukrainian Films.
