Il sole sta sorgendo su Kiev il 1215 ° giorno dell’invasione su vasta scala. “Non avevano idea di cosa fosse l’Ucraina”.

For years, Ukraine was seen as a blind spot on the global map — and that’s exactly what sparked the launch of Ukraїner in 2016.

In this video, [Bogdan Logvynenko](https://www.instagram.com/logvynenko/?hl=en), Ukrainian journalist and founder of Ukraїner, reflects on a centuries of misrepresentation, how it shaped the project’s creation, and why Ukraїner became a grassroots tool of Ukraine’s soft power.
