Today is Unification Act Day in Ukraine.
The Unification Act (Akt Zluky - Акт Злуки) was an Agreement
signed on January 22, 1919 by the Ukrainian People’s Republic and the West
Ukrainian People’s Republic on St. Sophia Square in Kyiv.
Since 1999, the Day of Unity of Ukraine (Den Sobornosti -
День Соборності України) is celebrated every year on January 22 to mark the
territorial integrity of Ukraine.
This Agreement may be 105 years old, but it hold a lot more
meaning today than in previous years (because of Russia’s War and Occupation in
Ukraine.)
