01 / Registration
Kyiv, July 23, 2025
The League moved from an idea into an official organizational form.
League of Ukrainians of the World
Bringing Ukrainians worldwide into a shared league of support and coordinated action.
The League of Ukrainians of the World was registered in Kyiv on July 23, 2025 to unite Ukrainian initiatives across Ukraine, the United States, Poland, and the broader diaspora.
02 / Founders
Dobrolad, New York, Przemysl
Three pillars create a base for Ukrainian coordination across Ukraine, the United States, and Europe.
03 / Membership
Not a list, but responsibility
LUS is forming official membership around real participation, contributions, and follow-through.
The League of Ukrainians of the World was created as an organization for Ukrainians, civic initiatives, and partners who are ready to work together across Ukraine and abroad. The League was registered in Kyiv on July 23, 2025.
What the League stands on
Its first pillar is the orphan-support organization Dobrolad, which cares for 15 children from the village of Torchynovychi in the Sambir district. Among them are the two five-year-old sons of volunteer Ivan Makar, who went to war and was killed, along with other military orphans from the same village.
The second pillar is WUBEF, Inc. in New York. It is supported by 20 classmates from the Strilkiv boarding school community, led by the still-living 95-year-old director Bohdan Zhydyk and his sister Oksana.
The third pillar is WUBEF, Inc.’s affiliated company in Poland at 2 Mostova Street, Przemysl.
Why this matters now
Many people have already passed through the League, but not all were ready to join officially, contribute, and work within common decisions. That is why LUS is focused not on nominal lists, but on responsible membership, real participation, and follow-through.
