Danish actor and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)<\/strong> Goodwill Ambassador Nikolaj Coster-Waldau<\/strong> has called on international partners to continue providing financial support to Ukrainian communities ahead of winter. His appeal was published on the organization\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The actor who played Jaime Lannister<\/strong> in the series Game of Thrones<\/em><\/strong> spent a week<\/strong> in Ukraine<\/strong>. During his visit, he met people rebuilding their communities despite attacks on civilian infrastructure. Mykolaiv<\/strong> was among the cities on his itinerary: on October 30<\/strong>, the actor visited the city, where he was spotted at FREEDOM Art Pub<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

He spoke about meeting residents of Kyiv<\/strong> and the impact of power outages on their lives:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cA TV program is currently airing in Denmark<\/strong> in which participants try to live without electricity for a few days<\/strong>. In Ukraine<\/strong>, however, an unreliable power supply has been part of everyday life for years. I was deeply moved by meeting people in their homes in Kyiv<\/strong>, where they have electricity for only a few hours a day<\/strong>. When we hear statistics about damaged energy infrastructure, those figures can seem abstract. But behind them are the lives of real people. Whether children can study, homes can be heated, and people can work and make plans for the future all depends on having electricity,\u201d said Nikolaj Coster-Waldau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He also highlighted the tangible results of international support and the next steps needed:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAt the same time, it is encouraging that support from international partners is already delivering results. Critical equipment has already been delivered to Ukraine<\/strong>. The next step is to ensure it is installed and kept operational so that people in communities have electricity and access to essential services,\u201d the actor explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summing up his impressions of the visit, the Goodwill Ambassador emphasized:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy trip to Ukraine<\/strong> was full of striking contrasts. Air raid alerts sounded day and night, but everywhere I met people who, despite everything, continue to work, create, and support one<\/strong> another<\/strong>. Their resilience is inspiring, but it must not be taken for granted. People still need safety, stability, and ongoing support. The assistance Ukraine<\/strong> receives today helps communities recover, saves lives, and keeps hope for the future alive. And a peaceful and prosperous Ukraine<\/strong> is a future that will benefit not only Ukrainians, but all of Europe<\/strong>,\u201d said Nikolaj Coster-Waldau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
