#день незалежності

[ukraineblr]

Ukraine is simply a fantastic country, after all.

She never deserved the plight of living next to an insane totalitarian regime obsessed with war, territorial grabs, and ecstatic hatred.

Yet, history seems to have destined her to overcome the most terrible ordeals of our time and live on.

In this war, Ukraine becomes even more precious to so many people in so many little details when one remembers the terrible price.

When this war is over, come visit us -- Ukraine is awesome.

Thursday was Independence Day in Ukraine. On 24 August 1991 Ukraine wisely severed its ties with the decaying Soviet Union.

This year the day was marked by Ukraine's first amphibious raid on occupied Crimea.

Ukrainian forces marked the country’s independence day with a naval raid into occupied Crimea, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy praised Ukrainians for the defiance and courage that has won them global support in the fight with Russia. The national holiday celebrates Ukraine’s independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, but this year it also marks 18 months since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion plunged the country into a war for survival.

Yes, it's exactly 18 months since Putin's unprovoked and illegal invasion began. The three-day "special operation" has now gone on for 1.5 years.

Ukrainian troops landed on the western tip of Crimea, near the village of Olenivka, in the early hours of Thursday, defence intelligence said in a statement. They fought Russian troops and raised a Ukrainian flag, before all returned safely home. It was the first time Ukrainian forces are known to have landed in Crimea since Putin ordered his forces over the border last year. They had to evade Russian defences on a long journey across the Black Sea, and then escape again after a skirmish.

Crimea was occupied (illegally, of course) by Russia in 2014.

With a counteroffensive against Russian troops occupying southern and eastern Ukraine only creeping forward, Kyiv appears to be looking for other ways to put pressure on Putin and his military. This week drones destroyed a supersonic bomber jet at an airbase deep inside Russia and twice stopped flights in and out of Moscow, though Ukraine has not directly claimed responsibility for these operations. A Russian helicopter also recently landed in Ukraine, after the pilot was lured to defect.

Here's President Zelenskyy's Independence Day address. He delivered it outside in Kyiv. That's in contrast to Putin who spends most of his time cowering in one of his luxury bunkers.

EDIT: Here's the location of the amphibious raid. This was not just a jaunt across a creek.

War volunteer @jana_skhidna 's Twitter thread

"A year ago on this same day, the Independence Day, we were in Avdiivka, and now we are in Pokrovsk. The enemy is close to our region. The enemy infantry in Novogrodivka is trying to gain a foothold in high-rise buildings, heavy fighting continues there. Battles continue for Hrodivka. The whole direction is very, very difficult in general.

This period, this whole year, is very difficult for me, because we have lost a lot! And I'm not just talking about territories. But those who are still alive can be worthy of the deceased and continue their work.

Today, on the most important holiday for our country, I'm very sad. I don't know what will happen next because nobody knows. There are no improvements on Pokrovsk though.

And no matter what day it is, the fate of our region and the situation on the direction for me are above everything else.

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇦"

So it's Ukrainian Independence Day today. The past couple of years have been rough and scary, but we are still standing and fighting for our freedom. Glory to Ukraine and glory to our defenders!

Back in Russia, Kursk is not the only place Putin needs to worry about.

Saturday August 24th is Ukraine Independence Day. It's likely that Putin's Russia will step up attacks on Ukraine to express displeasure with its former colony. So Ukraine is hitting Russian military targets inside Russia to disrupt any spike in attacks on Ukraine.

I can't believe that another year has passed since my last post about our Independence Day.

I want to thank our military again, who have been fighting for our independence and protecting our homes and lives for the ninth year.

I also, want to thank the volunteers who collect funds, find and deliver the necessary goods,save the lives of people and animals.

And thank you to everyone who joins the path to victory, with their work or donations.

I congratulate all Ukrainians on the 32nd anniversary of our Independence, and I wish us the fastest victory.

GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
