This decision was made on July 1 at the 5th extraordinary meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

“Victory in the war for borscht is ours!” - said the Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko on Facebook.

“The battle for borscht started before the war. And no matter how much Masha Zakharova said that “cooking books were forbidden, and the recipe was kept secret and forbidden to cook” and in general our borscht is “a manifestation of extremism and Nazism”, this “manifestation of extremism” is now officially Ukrainian, and officially under protected by UNESCO,” Tkachenko said.

In March 2021, the Ministry of Culture submitted a nomination dossier “Culture of cooking Ukrainian borscht” to UNESCO for consideration, which should have been included in the representative list.

This issue was planned to be considered in 2023, but because of the war, the cultural heritage was under threat from the aggressor.
