    This conference paper presents an overview of the ongoing initiative EPP UA — Electronic Preservation Project for Ukrainian Open Access Journals, initiated by TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library. The EPP UA aims to address the pressing need for preservation of open access journals published and hosted by academic institutions in Ukraine. The heightened risk of destruction from the Russian military invasion jeopardizes both the physical infrastructure of academic institutions and the scholarly knowledge stored within their servers. Given that Ukrainian OA journals rarely utilize long-term preservation services, this initiative emphasizes the urgency to ensure accessibility to research content for future generations of scientists and readers.
