Ukrainian communities and friends worldwide are busy with preparations to celebrate Ukraine’s 33rd anniversary of restored independence. An impressive selection of activities, including demonstrations in support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and festive concerts, are among those events being arranged to mark the special day.
In fact a total of 212 events have been added to the #StandWithUkraine Global Rally Map, including demonstrations of support being held in 28 countries. You can find more detailed information about these events at the provided link.
We encourage you to join the UWC campaign and add your event to the list. You can do this by filling out the registration form in the “Register Event” section, at the top right corner of the map.
The campaign’s information page also provides materials for events and social media banners.
For the 33rd anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence, the UWC, in partnership with Saint Javelin, has launched the global “Birds of Freedom” fundraising campaign aimed at equipping Ukrainian defenders with modern FPV drones. These UAVs will assist warriors in obtaining real-time battlefield data and conducting vital reconnaissance operations. To support the campaign and make a contribution, visit unitewithukraine.com/provide.
As the 33rd anniversary of the restoration of Independence approaches, we urge Ukrainian communities and friends of Ukraine to be active – both online and in the streets. Post messages of support for Ukraine with the hashtag #StandwithUkraine and gather for peaceful demonstrations to show the world that we are a united 60-million-strong nation and, together with all peace-loving people around the globe, support Ukraine.
