by August 24 marks the 31st anniversary of Ukraine declaring independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. It also marks exactly six months from when Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. Because of this, there will be no celebrations and parades in Ukraine this year.
This article from the Kyiv Independent discusses how one might honor Ukrainian independence from abroad. Perhaps the best way, however, is to donate to one of the many charities listed in that article that are helping the Ukrainian military and people as they defend their country’s independence.
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
