On December 22, on the Day of the Diplomatic Service of Ukraine, at the initiative of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented a special online portal, Diplomatic e-Archive.
The department's press service reported this.
What is the problem?
Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrii Sybiha, states that a strong diplomatic service is a vital component of a powerful state. As part of the celebrations, a virtual diplomatic archive was also unveiled.
"To have a strong diplomacy of a strong state, a member of the EU and NATO, a prosperous country, our diplomatic service must rely on traditions. And we have these centuries-old traditions," the minister said.
What is the solution?
The portal has collected unique diplomatic documents that tell visitors about the history of the Ukrainian diplomatic service, the activities of Ukrainian diplomatic missions and consular institutions, foreign missions accredited in the Ukrainian People's Republic, the Ukrainian State, the Ukrainian SSR, and independent Ukraine.

Andrii Sybiha emphasized that the digital resource Diplomatic e-Archive is essential for restoring the historical truth about the Ukrainian state-building tradition and the history of Ukrainian diplomacy.
The unique documents collected in it testify to the continuity of Ukrainian diplomatic traditions and the contribution of Ukrainian diplomats to the development of international relations. They also demonstrate Ukraine's integrity in international relations and its centuries-old diplomatic and interpersonal ties with its partners.
How does it work?
Starting today, anyone can view the unique diplomatic archive using the following link.
The Diplomatic e-Archive plays an important role in countering disinformation and historical manipulation. The initiative emphasizes Ukraine's priority of maintaining transparency and integrity.
The project was developed with the support of UNDP in Ukraine and funding from the Government of Japan.
