Today, Ukrainians courageously resist the aggression of an enemy who wants to deprive us of our freedom. And they do it not only in Ukraine, but all over the world.
Thus, one of the intersections was renamed in Brighton Beach (USA) for the Independence Day of Ukraine. Now it is called the “Ukrainian Way”.
A symbolic step
Over half a year of a full-scale war, we have seen that our strength lies in unity. Each small step is an extremely important contribution to a big victory.
As Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova noted, the official renaming of the intersection was completed on the Independence Day of Ukraine. August 24 has always been of great importance for every citizen, but this year it is especially symbolic. This day is about our courage, struggle and love, which last for about a thousand years.
