European Leaders Join Zelenskyy in Kyiv for Ukraine’s Independence Day as Russian Invasion Pushes On
Five allied leaders arrived in Kyiv to mark Ukraine’s 35th Independence Day and show support for its sovereignty, Sybiha said.
On Monday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc Frieden, Moldovan President Maia Sandu, Estonian President Alar Karis, and European Council President António Costa arrived at the Kyiv Railway Station to celebrate Ukraine's 35th independence anniversary.
This visit coincides with the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's declaration of independence on August 24. The nation has defended its independence despite difficulties, making international allied support essential.
Reporting the arrivals, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that Ukraine now has clarity regarding which countries stand behind it, identifying these partners as 'true friends.'
Support from international partners helps preserve the freedom Ukraine fought to regain, serving as a vital component of the nation's strength. Officials expressed deep gratitude to all allies for strengthening the country's defense capabilities.
As Ukraine marks 35 years of restored independence, its international influence continues to grow. The Kyiv Post reports 97% of its readers are located outside Ukraine, establishing the organization as a global voice.
