Congratulations on the holiday, which has been celebrated since 2004 at the state level. On August 24, 1991, after the proclamation of the Act on the Independence of Ukraine, a blue-yellow flag was raised over the building of the Verkhovna Rada. Let there be peace and harmony in every home! Everything will be Ukraine! Today is also the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Slave Trade and its Elimination, which is held under the auspices of the United Nations.
