Russian-speaking readers should view this memorandum as an example of the systemic work of the diaspora in promoting Ukraine's interests on the international stage. The signing of the agreement between the government of Ukraine and the World Congress of Ukrainians can significantly influence foreign relations and the perception of Ukraine in the world. Advocating for Euro-integration processes and supporting Ukrainian culture abroad form the basis for strengthening national identity and gaining international support.
