  1. On December 1, 1991, Ukrainians overwhelmingly supported the Act of Declaration of Independence in a historic referendum, affirming their desire for an independent state.

    The Act, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on August 24, 1991, was backed by 346 deputies, according to Ukrinform.

    In the referendum, 90.92% of voters answered “yes” to the question: “Do you confirm the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine?”

    There was no single region or settlement where Ukraine’s independence did not garner majority support. In Crimea, 54.19% of citizens voted for independence, in Sevastopol, 57.07%, while in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Odesa, and Kharkiv regions, over 80% backed statehood. In the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Ternopil, Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, and Vinnytsia regions, more than 95% voted for independence.

  2. For me as a German Ukraine defends our freedom and is a nation of brave people. Slava ukraini!
