Today, for the first time, Ukrainians celebrate the Day of Ukrainian Statehood
On this occasion, a solemn ceremony of raising the State Flag of Ukraine took place near the monument to Vyacheslav Chornovol in Lviv.
“Ukraine has gone through many trials. As Lina Kostenko wrote, all the rinks of history have passed through Ukraine, all kinds of trials have been worked out. It hardened us. This is our strength. Thank you to every Ukrainian soldier who is now making superhuman efforts to achieve our victory. Thanks to every Ukrainian for their daily work. Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people!” – stressed the head of Lviv OVA Maksym Kozytskyi.
After raising the flag, the orchestra of the National Academy of Ground Forces named after Hetman P. Sahaidachny.
In addition, the exhibition “Cities of Heroes” is being exhibited in Na Valakh Park today. On the banners you can see a photo and read how the temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine resist Russia.
We will remind you that last year President Volodymyr Zelenskyi proposed to introduce a new state holiday, which will be celebrated on the day of the baptism of Kyivan Rus-Ukraine, July 28, during the celebrations on the occasion of the Independence Day of Ukraine. At the same time, the head of state signed the corresponding decree on approving the Day of Statehood.
