Veronika Yasynska, a Ukrainian woman who has been in the United Kingdom for four months, has worked together with the Museum of Liverpool to support displaced Ukrainian citizens in honour of Ukraine Independence Day on August 24 in a celebratory event.
It was on this day that the country declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, and 31 years later its message still holds great significance.
Speaking to the ECHO about the importance of the event, Veronika said: “This independence day is absolutely different than before, the situation and the full scale of the invasion have highlighted our will to be independent and to protect our basic human rights.
