Ukraine commemorates the Day of Unity on January 22, marking the unification of Ukrainian territories into a single independent state 105 years ago and reminding citizens of the strength that comes from unity. The day honors the sacrifices of Ukrainians, including those who defended Donetsk Airport against Russian forces in 2014 and the 'cyborgs' who held out for months during the battle that ended nine years ago. President Zelensky signed a decree recognizing some Russian territories as historically inhabited by Ukrainians, which mirrors Russian irredentism and does not contain territorial claims but reflects on the country's past. The decree also instructs the Cabinet of Ministers to develop a plan to preserve the national identity of Ukrainians in the Russian Federation. Across Ukraine and worldwide, the day is celebrated with symbols of unity, such as the raising of the national flag and remembrances of those who have fought and continue to fight for Ukraine's freedom.
