On 24 August 2024, the 33rd anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, a ceremony was held in Warsaw’s Castle Square to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day.
Every year on 24 August, Ukrainians traditionally celebrate their most important national holiday – Independence Day. Ukraine has only existed as an independent state on the world map for 33 years, a fact that was preceded by several centuries of struggle by the Ukrainian people for the opportunity to live in a united and independent state.
In 2024, Ukrainians will celebrate their national holiday in a situation where for more than 10 years Ukraine has been fighting an aggressor, defending its independence, fighting to restore its territorial integrity within internationally recognised borders, defending its freedom and right to life, and repelling the full-scale aggression launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine on 24 February 2022.
Like last year, Ukrainians celebrated their holiday in Warsaw’s Castle Square, where a stage was set up. Celebrations were also held in major Polish cities – Gdansk, Wroclaw, Poznan and others. In Warsaw, the ceremony began at 6.30 p.m. As part of the celebrations, children performed the Ukrainian and Polish national anthems. A minute’s silence was observed in memory of the heroes who died for Ukraine’s independence.
The Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of Ukraine in the Republic of Poland Oleena Tsybukh also spoke, addressing the participants of the meeting with the following words:
Each of us should be proud to be part of the brave, courageous, freedom-loving Ukrainian nation. A nation that is steadfast, invincible, worthy of pride. A nation that will never allow itself to be enslaved. A nation that repels the enemy with dignity. Unity is our strength, our weapon. Today, too, words of gratitude for the continued solidarity of our Polish brothers and sisters with Ukraine should resound loudly, the Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of Ukraine added.
