🇺🇦 July 15 - #Ukrainian Statehood Day!

Today, we celebrate not just Statehood Day but also the #1036th anniversary of the baptism of #Kyivan_Rus - an event that became the foundation of our state and spirituality.

Despite all the challenges and hostile attempts to appropriate our history, the #Ukrainian spirit is indomitable. We are united in the struggle for freedom and independence.
