The celebration of Independence Day of Ukraine has its own history and prehistory. During the Soviet era, the Ukrainian diaspora in the West organized festive events for the event “Independence Day of Ukraine”, which was celebrated by Ukrainians abroad on January 22 – the anniversary of the Act of Unity of Ukraine.

KhNUIA cadets joined a patriotic event held on Taras Shevchenko Square in Vinnytsia. They put flowers at the memorial sign of the Heavenly Hundred and the fallen Heroes of the Russian-Ukrainian War, honoring the memory of those who gave their lives for the independence and freedom of Ukraine.

On the occasion of the 34th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence, a meaningful program was organized for the first-year students of the camp, which combined learning about history, getting acquainted with cultural heritage, and active recreation. All this helped the young people to better understand the importance of national culture and traditions.

On the occasion of the Independence Day of Ukraine, students at all locations of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs put flowers at the monuments to the Heroes who gave their lives for the territorial integrity and independence of our state.

Our dear soldiers! All Ukrainians!

Today is an important day – the day of one of our strongest emotions – the feeling that happens when you are at home or when you recognize your own. And wherever you are in the world, whatever country you come to, when you notice the Ukrainian flag, you understand that next to you, maybe people you don’t know personally, but these are definitely familiar hearts.

On National Flag Day, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko congratulated Ukrainians and emphasized the importance of the blue-and-yellow flag for the country.

A peaceful protest was held on European Square in Vinnytsia, organized by the Youth Policy Department of the City Council together with Vinnytsia Youth Council. The event was held with the aim of forming patriotism, national dignity and popularizing state symbols among young people.

A sports and patriotic holiday was held at Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs on the occasion of the Day of the State Flag and the Independence Day of Ukraine. The teams of first-year students of the camp camp of the Educational and Research Institutes No. 2 and No. 3, as well as No. 1 and No. 4, competed.

The official celebration of the National Flag Day of Ukraine began on August 23, 2004, when the Decree of the President of the Republic “On the National Flag Day of Ukraine” was signed. This Decree “to honor the centuries-old history of Ukrainian statehood, the state symbols of independent Ukraine and to foster respect for the state symbols of Ukraine among citizens” established this new holiday in Ukraine.

Kharkiv is more than a city. It is the heart that beats in the east of Ukraine, despite the explosions and ruins. Here, among universities and factories, squares and parks, a new legend about the indomitability of the people was born.
