"For me personally, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi is a symbol of the indomitable Ukrainian spirit! Despite the extremely difficult times and the war, he inspires and motivates with his character and faith in Ukraine," said Fullen. 

The artist Yevhen Kucher noted that Zaluzhnyi's contribution to the preservation and development of culture is greater than the society can realize now. 

"Society needs to know the current history that is passing by young people and not only. Art has a great influence on the development of culture and moods in society. As a part of this trend, I feel obliged to highlight what is important. To give voice to and showcase the voices from the streets. Despite the fact that street art culture is underestimated in Ukraine, I believe that it sets the direction of the current for reflection," added Samyi Kucheriavyi.
