Not only does the Embassy of Ukraine boast its location in one of the most historically significant buildings in Washington, the country’s Ukraine House in Kalorama, which serves as the country’s cultural center similar to those of the Former Residence of the Ambassadors of Spain and the Mexican Cultural Institute, previously served as the Embassy of Yugoslavia, and later the Embassy of Serbia.
Leased by Ukraine House DC Foundation in 2021, and christened by President and First Lady Zelenskyy, Ukraine House bills itself as “a home away from home for many Ukrainians by birth and Ukrainians by choice.”
For the 2024 holiday season, Ukraine House has introduced its first annual Christmas ornament. According to the organization, the ornament is “a beautifully crafted symbol of Ukrainian resilience, culture, and holiday warmth.”
We love that the sale of every ornament directly supports Ukraine House’s cultural and humanitarian projects, and the wonderful programming they offer throughout the year.

Diplomatica did not receive any compensation or gifted items for featuring the Ukraine House ornament.
Correction: A previous version of this article stated that the house was purchased by the Ukrainian government. The Ukraine House DC Foundation is a non-profit organization, and does not receive financial support from the government of Ukraine.
