August 24th is Ukraine’s Independence Day. Nice patriotic song “22” by Yarmak written in 2014.

The song “22” by Yarmak ft Tof was written during the events of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in February 2014, when naïve Ukrainians thought that war with corruption was the most terrible war they could ever face…

Few weeks later, Russian soldiers without insignia invaded Crimea. A month later, Russia started its sneaky war in eastern Ukraine. As of today, over 11000 Ukrainians have been killed in the war in eastern Ukraine since 2014.

The song is in Russian, by the way.

Independence Day of Ukraine is the main state holiday in modern Ukraine, celebrated on 24 August in commemoration of the Declaration of Independence of 1991. Prior to 1991, Ukraine was a constituent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). On August 24, 1991, after a failed coup in Moscow, Ukraine declared its independence.
