On January 2, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Unity, dedicated to the unification of Ukraine, which took place in 1919.
On this day in 1919, the Unification Act of the Ukrainian People’s Republic and the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic into a single Ukrainian state was signed.
The agreement was aimed at creating a unified Ukrainian state. The unification action of 1919 left a deep mark in the historical memory of the Ukrainian people.
On 21 January 1990, to mark the 71st anniversary of the signing of the Unification Act, over 300,000 Ukrainians created a human chain approximately 300 miles long from Kyiv to Lviv.
In 1999, the Day of Unity of Ukraine became the official holiday.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
