Today, together with colleagues, journalists, and opinion leaders, we planted the seeds of a wildflower mix for the Ukrainian pavilion in the greenhouse of the Grishko National Botanical Garden.

The seeds are embedded in eco-friendly paper, which was used to construct the walls of our booth at COP29 in Baku.

The design of this paper is remarkable: the pieces containing the seeds dissolve in the soil when exposed to water and warmth. They can sprout both indoors and outdoors.

Ukraine is alive and recovering despite the Russian armed aggression – this is the essence of the pavilion, which symbolizes the idea of collective efforts growing into the future. Additionally, there were no waste materials left from the pavilion — this showcases our conscious attitude and care for the environment.

With the arrival of the first warmth, we will plant wildflowers in the demined areas. Demining and restoring territories to life is one of the key concepts of the national pavilion of Ukraine at COP29 and our international track within Point 8 of the Peace Formula by Volodymyr Zelensky. Today, we discussed this topic in detail, as December 4 is World Wildlife Conservation Day, and wild animals are direct victims of landmines.

Fragments of this paper have been sent to our allied nations. They will also create green corners in their countries, promoting ideas of environmental protection during wartime and raising awareness among their populations on this issue. We look forward to photo reports from various corners of the world.

I thank the participants of today's event in the greenhouse for your interest and for spreading the ideas of a restored, "green" Ukraine. A clean environment is a shared value for all of us, our collective work and responsibility.
