Ukraine Foreign Minister Condemns Venice Biennale Over Russia's Participation
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha criticized the Venice Biennale for allowing Russia to participate in its 2026 exhibition, calling it a 'cowardly choice' that 'continues to harm' the organization. His comments follow the resignation of the entire Biennale jury over the controversial move to admit Russia for the first time since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The Italian government has dispatched officials to investigate, with PM Giorgia Meloni reiterating the government does not support the Russian pavilion. The Biennale opens May 9, coinciding with Moscow's Victory Day parade.
