Day of Ukrainian Statehood

July 15 is the Day of Ukrainian Statehood!

Our statehood was born more than a thousand years ago. It has the image of the Trident, which we have preserved since the time of Volodymyr the Great. Inscribed in our DNA with blue and yellow threads – the colors of the coat of arms of the Galicia-Volyn principality.

The history of Ukraine’s statehood is not only a constant struggle for the right to “be”. This is the diplomacy of the Kyiv princes; the culture from the time of Sophia of Kyiv; the strength of spirit and courage of Zaporizhzhya Sich; science and wisdom that developed with the creation of the first universities and libraries, educational organizations.

Today, as every day, we bow to our defenders who defend our Ukraine and its statehood, integrity and values!

Glory to Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!
