Sir Keir Starmer has told Ukrainians the UK will back them “today and always”, as Kyiv marks 33 years since it declared independence from the Soviet Union.
The Prime Minister described his message to frontline fighters and people who have sought refuge in the UK as “crystal clear”, and the Government confirmed community groups, councils and parishes have planned events to mark the anniversary.
Ukraine’s supreme soviet agreed the state should leave the Moscow-based Soviet Union on August 24 1991, a decision which Ukrainian voters backed at a referendum in December the same year.
“My message to all Ukrainians, whether on the front line or here in your second home in the UK, is crystal clear: we are with you today and always,” Sir Keir said.
“That is what I told President Zelensky when he sat at our Cabinet table and where, on behalf of the British people, I outlined that it is not just the British government that’s behind Ukraine – it’s all of us.
“We are with you for as long as it takes.”
“Slava Ukraini,” he said, a national salute in the country, which translates to glory to Ukraine.
According to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the 33-year “milestone has now become an opportunity for people across the UK and the world to honour the strength, resilience and identity of the Ukrainian people”.
The Government confirmed more than 45,000 Ukrainian recruits have received training on British soil since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, as part of an international effort codenamed Operation Interflex.
The MoD has also urged social media users to share videos of them clapping, cheering, playing music, singing or ringing bells with the hashtag #MakeNoiseForUkraine on Saturday.

ESAD Keir, back’em with your own blood and money. Maybe that POS buddie of yours Klaus will help out.
Too bad so many Ukrainian men women, soldiers and civilians have suffer, die or be maimed in the process and so much of Ukraine must be reduced to rubble in the process. Don't have a hash tag with a catchy, cutesy name for that one , do they?
Some Independence Day as Zelensky has postponed elections, jailed his opponents, shut down the opposition press, and outlawed the Orthodox Church.
So this is defending democracy? The sooner we end this fiasco, the better.
Trump pointed out our State Department helped overthrow the Ukraine in 2014. How's that for 'independence'? Our CIA head, Nuland, helped make it happen. The Ukraine has been owned and operated by NATO, primarily Biden, since that time. Right now, our deep state/Biden regime won't let the Ukraine negotiate peace even though they can't win, they have to just keep fighting and dying.
So Our CIA/State department worked with allies to build and equip a 600,000 troop army to provoke Putin into fighting back when they tried to park it on his border. He invaded and ever since then shills have been saying, 'poor defenseless Ukraine was minding it's own business, and WHAM all of a sudden Putin attacked'.
No. NATO wants regime change in Russia and sadly, the Ukraine is the tool they are destroying to try to make that happen.
The Soviet Union is dead - Putin doesn't want blood thirsty NATO to park people and weapons on his border.
(back’em with your own blood and mon)
That works for me.
Gentlemen, the missiles are flying.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Meanwhile the Islamification of England continues.
33 years? Spit.
Prior to that, the region was part of the Russian and Habsburg empire for a thousand years. The concept of a Ukraine identity did not even exist until the 19th century.

“Slava Ukraini”
I bet the Rooskies translate that as “Ukrainian slaves”.
Looks scarier than Halloween ghouls.
