In “Happy Independence Day of Ukraine.”, we provide useful information, practical explanations, and the main points to consider when working with smartphones and electronics.
Ukraine celebrates its Independence Day on 24 August. We first published this message on 24 August 2023, 32 years after independence was proclaimed. In October 2026 we revised the text and added some historical background. The message itself has not changed.
On 24 August 1991, the Supreme Soviet (Verkhovna Rada) of the Ukrainian SSR adopted the Act of Declaration of Independence, a few days after the failed coup attempt in Moscow. The Act was put to a nationwide referendum on 1 December 1991. More than 84% of registered voters took part, and about 92% of the valid votes were in favour.
Since 1992 the holiday has been held on 24 August. The day before, 23 August, has been marked as the Day of the State Flag since 2004. On 24 August 2026, Ukraine marked 35 years since independence was proclaimed.
Our team is from Ukraine. In 2023 we celebrated this day in the second year of the full-scale invasion that Russia launched on 24 February 2022. For us, 24 August stands for people's right to decide their own future.
We thank everyone who defends the country, along with the doctors, energy workers, rescuers and volunteers, and everyone doing their job in hard conditions. Our gratitude also goes to the people in other countries who welcomed Ukrainians into their homes and cities.
Some of the tools Ukrainians use every day, including the Diia public services app, are covered in our article on useful Ukrainian smartphone apps. And we wrote about people who keep building new things even now in our piece on Ukrainian eco-inventions.
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!
