Independence Day of Ukraine – what is known
Every year, Ukraine celebrates Independence Day on August 24. On this day in 1991, the Verkhovna Rada convened an extraordinary, extraordinary meeting at which a resolution on independence was adopted.
In December, a nationwide referendum was held, during which the majority of Ukrainians confirmed that they wanted to live in their own independent state.
It is known that before the full-scale war and the introduction of martial law, Independence Day was always celebrated by organizing concerts, folk festivals, fairs, and other events, but now no official celebrations are planned due to the threat of shelling.
