This month we mark the 6 months since the beginning of russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine are also celebrating Ukrainian Independence Day on August 24th.
Ukraine declared independence on August 24th, 1991 and for 31 years has been a beacon of reform, democracy, and liberty in Europe.
Today, this progress is being stalled by russia's violent and destructive all-out war against Ukraine and Ukrainian freedom. The crimes russia has committed in the last six months are unspeakable, unconceivable. The millions of men, women, and children who suffer from russia's aggression, some of them having fled from the beginning of the war in Donbas in 2014 are experiencing the horror yet again, have had their lives changed forever. Ukrainians, those who were able to flee, are scattered all over the world now.
But Ukrainians are also stronger than ever. They are not giving up. They are now defending the values that Americans and the democratic world cherish most and will continue to do so - and Ukrainians and democracy will win!💪🇺🇦
