The Kyiv War Museum is closed to visitors, but continues to save and collect exhibits.
In one of the buildings of the museum there is an exposition “War in the East of Ukraine”, which began to be assembled in 2014.
The first large-scale Ukrainian-American exhibition "For the Will of Ukraine" was located in the second building.

Yuriy Savchuk, director of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II: “For the first time not only in 30 years of Ukraine’s independence, but in 130 years of the Ukrainian diaspora, our partner from America, Ukrainian institutions known throughout the world such as the Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences in New York, the Ukrainian Museum in New York, the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago, the Ukrainian Museum-Library in Stanford, and the Cultural and Educational Center in Bambrook lent us a total of 200 exhibits that were presented at this exhibition. And of course we are responsible to our history, not only responsible for the preservation of the cultural heritage of our country. But, if I'm not mistaken, this is the only international museum exhibition that was exhibited in the cultural space of Ukraine. And this imposed special obligations on our museum. We thought and cared about how not only to preserve the artifacts of our history, but how to preserve the artifacts of our international partners, in particular the US institutions, which provided us with a truly historic opportunity to examine these exhibits and present them to the honor of the Ukrainian army.
This exhibition was dismantled on the first day of the war. And on the second day of the war, she had already left Kyiv. I took it out on a personal car, which crashed on the way. But friends and colleagues from Vinnitsa helped me, gave me another car, and she continued to move to a safe place in western Ukraine.

According to international obligations, we are obliged to return these artifacts to their owner until a certain time. First, I would like to talk about our legal and moral obligations to these institutions. And on the other hand, there are legal obligations, there are customs documents, transport documents, and insurances drawn up in a certain way. That is, I think. That even in such difficult conditions of martial law, we must preserve and emphasize our Europeanness, our belonging to the civilized world, including in compliance with the international agreements that we signed.”
