Hello ladies and gents This is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Ukraine Independence Day 2023
Today’s Doodle, illustrated by Kyiv-based guest artist Polina Doroshenko, honors Ukraine Independence Day 2023. This national holiday honors the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people, and remembers all who’ve given their lives for their country — including those still fighting now. On this day in 1991, Ukraine gained its independence and joined the world stage as a sovereign nation.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian people voted 92% in favor of independence in a referendum for the Act of Declaration of Independence in December 1991. Since then, Ukraine has continued to build up a democratic state that values freedom and integrity. The nation has also made several notable global contributions to space exploration, medicine, art, music, technology, and more.
Ukraine’s blue-and-yellow national flag, like the colors represented in today’s artwork, symbolizes the open sky above its endless wheat fields seen throughout the country. Beyond that, it also represents the people’s unbreakable spirit, devotion to the land, and love for freedom. The Doodle artwork depicts a parade representing all Ukrainians showing their pride and confidence, moving into the future. This year’s Independence Day holds particular significance as the country continues its struggle against the ongoing Russian invasion.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
