The Association of Castles and Museums around the Baltic Sea joins to the cultural sanctions against Russia

The Association was founded in 1991 as an instrument helping the process of Europe’s cultural re-unification. Freedom, friendly co-operation and mutual understanding constitute our core values to this day. The Association expresses its solidarity with the Ukrainians at least by suspending or cancelling all contacts with Russian state organizations. Additionally, the Association has decided to stop any work on the catalogue in the russian language. 

"On 24 February 2022, russia attacked Ukraine, that is, Europe. Each day and night Moscow’s tanks, jets and rockets are sent to kill innocent people and freedom. The Ukrainian soldiers and civilians fight for their country and for all of us. Their mothers, wives and children look for shelter in basements, or in the neighboring countries. Hell on earth burns once again.

The Association is unable to send either weapons, or a field-hospital to Ukraine, though it can express its solidarity with the Ukrainians at least by suspending or cancelling all contacts with russian state organizations. Additionally, the Association has decided to stop any work on the catalogue in the Russian language" - says in the statement of the Association of Castles and Museums around the Baltic Sea.
