National Writers' Union of Ukraine

In post-communist time, the Writers' Union of Ukraine declared its independence from any Soviet structures (1991).

In 1997 the Union split, losing some of its members who created a new organization, the Association of Ukrainian Writers.

In 2020, the Union blacklisted publications from countries that politically opposed the "territorial integrity of Ukraine."

Regional organizations of the Union are situated in every oblast centre of Ukraine and large cities.
