These are days when geography, culture and topics about Ukraine will be most consulted worldwide. I'm trying myself to make some articles about geography at eu.wikipedia, regardless of my opinion about the war itself.
BUT... "diplomacy month" seems a bad title for this effort at the current moment. Take care outside.

Given previous experience, past examples of this project editors are free to make any contributions so I see no issue with governments, institutions or even private corporations supporting knowledge sharing activity. The best time to share knowledge is now, the second best is when its under threat, what we cant do is share knowledge once its destroyed. What I do see as unacceptable is saying we shouldn't be sharing knowledge because a society and cultures' future is being threatened. We need to be doing everything we can to ensure we collect and document as much as we can. We have seen many museums and heritage places lost in the last 20 years due various natural and unnatural events.

But regardless, writing about Ukrainian culture is never more prudent than when it is under threat. Whatever one's personal opinion on this war, I don't think anyone will deny that Ukrainian cultural heritage is at risk? Asking people to go outside and take photos, that may be a bit much right now, but this is a writing exercise. That is the beautiful thing about Wikimedia: we document things regardless of how much we 'like' them.

Granted, there was a campaign last year around this time, but was it advertised at a global scale? At least, I can't remember that.
