January 22 marks the Unity Day of Ukraine. On this day in 1918, the Ukrainian Central Council proclaimed the independence of the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UPR) through its Fourth Universal.
Exactly one year later, on January 22, 1919, the ceremonial unification of the UPR and the West Ukrainian People’s Republic (WUPR) into a single sovereign state took place in St. Sophia Square in Kyiv.
This event embodied the Ukrainian people’s centuries-long aspirations for independence, unity, and self-determination.
