Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!
August 24 is the day when we honor the freedom, dignity and right of the Ukrainian people to independently determine their future.
Today, the independence of Ukraine has a special meaning. It is confirmed every day by the courage of people who defend their state, work, study, create culture, develop science, support communities and continue to build the future even in times of war.
It is a great honor for the Austrian Cooperation Office Lviv and Ukraine Office Austria to be Ukraine’s partner on this path. For many years, we have supported academic cooperation, cultural exchange, the development of education, science, medicine and interpersonal relations, because they are the ones who create a solid foundation for the European future.
On Independence Day, we thank everyone who defends freedom, democracy and human dignity every day. We wish Ukraine a just peace, strength, unity and new opportunities for development.
