" For Ukraine, for their freedom and ours!" is a non-partisan association (governed by the French law of 1901) born from civic engagement in the face of Russian aggression against Ukraine. Composed of members of French civil society, our organisation is committed to raise awareness among the public and European institutions about the crucial issues of this conflict, which extends far beyond Ukraine's borders.

Our actions are structured around 3 main areas:
- To denounce and document the Ukrainian genocide committed by the Russian Federation, in all its components
- To raise awareness and take action as civil society against the "new total war" that Russia is waging against our countries
- To propose and support forms of resistance to Putinism

The deportation of between 20,000 and 200,000 Ukrainian children to Russia and Belarus constitutes the core of the crime of genocide. We launched an open letter signed by 26 members of parliament and Olexandra Matviichuk, the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, stating that the return of the deported children is a non-negotiable condition. We joined the international " PEOPLE FIRST " campaign for the release of all those detained.

We also denounce the systematic sexual violence used as a weapon of mass destruction , supporting the SEMA-Ukraine association which defends the tens of thousands of survivors and campaigns for their legal recognition and reparations.

Finally, in June 2025 we filed a communication with the International Criminal Court denouncing the spoliation of Ukrainian cultural heritage – the largest in Europe since 1945. Our investigation details the methodical looting of museums, the systematic destruction of works in the Ukrainian language and the appropriation of works of art orchestrated at the highest levels of the Russian state, involving Vladimir Putin and senior officials from the Russian Ministry of Culture and intelligence.

Faced with the hesitation of some European governments, we published the op-ed " It's Europe's Time! Let's Not Betray Ukraine ," calling for the creation of a coalition of European states willing to: confiscate the €210 billion in frozen Russian assets, protect Ukrainian airspace, deliver the weapons needed for victory, and reject any agreement imposing the demilitarization or neutrality of Ukraine without the security guarantees necessary for its survival .
We are calling for a true European surge for Uk.raine

We actively support the SKYSHIELD initiative, conceived by the NGO Price of Freedom and endorsed by several hundred European and American political figures and senior military officers, including Dr. Jade McGlynn of King's College London. This integrated air defense zone would allow a European coalition to neutralize Russian missiles and drones over western Ukraine with approximately 120 European fighter jets, simultaneously protecting critical infrastructure, nuclear power plants, and Ukrainian civilians while securing European borders. We have advocated for and proposed measures to secure energy facilities in Ukraine .

We are also campaigning against cognitive warfare and hybrid warfare waged by Russia . Thanks to our mobilization alongside the Diderot Committee, including an opinion piece in Le Monde and a demonstration, the group succeeded in getting Arcom to finally order French operators to respect European sanctions. against Russian media, three years after their adoption.

Convinced that the Ukrainian resistance defends our shared democratic values, we advocate for Ukraine's full integration into democratic Europe and reject any compromise that would sacrifice its sovereignty. For, faced with a Russia waging total war against Western democracies, their values, and their people, we know that our own freedom is also at stake in Ukraine.

Our aspiration: a humanist, peaceful and free European future.

THE PLUNDERING OF UKRAINIAN CULTURAL PROPERTY

Stop cultural genocide Ukraine is suffering the systematic destruction of its heritage. Every stolen work of art, every looted museum, every destroyed monument erases a piece of human history.

THE RUSSIANISATION OF UKRAINIAN CHILDREN, AN ACT OF GENOCIDE

A non-negotiable requirement: accepting negotiations that would leave hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children under Russian rule would amount to legitimising genocide as an instrument of international policy. This requirement is not maximalist but legally grounded: the forced transfer of children explicitly constitutes an act of genocide under Article II(e) of the 1948 Convention.

THE EUROPEAN SURGE

The coalition of volunteers could agree on a set of measures. - Confiscate €210 billion in frozen Russian assets and return them to Ukraine. - Protect Ukraine's airspace with SKYSHIELD. - Deploy a contingent made up of volunteer countries. Reject any agreement that would impose demilitarisation or neutrality on Ukraine. - Reject any agreement that does not offer Ukraine full security guarantees.

CONFISCATING RUSSIAN PUBLIC ASSETS

The confiscation of Russian public assets would constitute an advance on the reparations that the aggressor will ultimately have to pay. The damage caused by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory is estimated by the World Bank at nearly €450 billion to date. This is already much more than the frozen Russian assets.
