ZEELAND TOGETHER WITH UKRAINE: FOUR YEARS AT WAR
Client: VATAHA Foundation
On February 27th 2026, over 150 people gathered in Middleburg for Zeeland Together With Ukraine: Four Years at War, a memorial marking four years since the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Organized by VATAHA and with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands and the Municipality of Middelburg, the event united Ukrainians in Zeeland, artists, local communities, and representatives of municipalities across the province.
For VATAHA volunteer and organizer Natali Melnykova, this event was the culmination of months of working toward uniting people across a region in which Ukrainian communities are often dispersed and scattered between small cities and towns.
“It was incredible to see how everything came together in one day: the support of municipalities, Ukrainians, artists, music, culture, art, and simple human warmth,” she reflected afterward.
