Lithuania’s support campaign for Ukraine
“Unbreakable”
The neo-fresco “Nezlamna” / “Unbreakable”, created using a unique technique, can be seen in Vilnius, right next to one of the capital’s main arteries of life, the River Neris, on the wall of the building at A. Juozapavičiaus St. 9. The neo-fresco symbolises the unbreakable determination of the Ukrainian people to defend their Freedom, as well as Lithuania’s enduring promise of support for Ukraine and its people.
