On January 22, 106 years ago, the Ukrainian nation declared the independence of its state and created the Ukrainian National Republic, and exactly a year later the Act of Union of the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR) and the Western Ukrainian National Republic (WUNR) took place.
This day is a symbol of the unity of the Ukrainian people.
Many years have passed since then, but today Ukrainians are united as never before. The Ukrainian nation and citizens of Ukraine now on the battlefield against the occupiers and in the world political mainstream against the imperial Kremlin of Moscow embody the aspirations of all generations who strived for an independent Ukraine, its freedom, equality and unity. Ukraine
will win!
We, as one of the nations enslaved by Muscovy for centuries, are Tatars and representatives of other nations, stand together with Ukraine and for Ukraine!
We also support everyone who fights for the independence of their country Ukraine and honour the memory of everyone who gave their lives for Ukraine and the freedom of future generations!
