Ukraine at 25 (8 years ago)

The Kyiv Post classic edition is loaded with historical articles, interviews with Ukrainian diaspora and a visit to a military hospital two years into Russia's war.

Kyiv Post chief editor Brian Bonner’s summary of the Aug. 26, 2016, edition, which can be read here in PDF version:

Ukraine turns 25 only once, so we decided to celebrate for the second week in a row. We have some great op-eds by Олена Гончарова and Paul Niland on what this Independence Day means.

We also have many articles—10 pages in all—on Ukraine's best people, heroes, role models, celebrities, and role models. We trace the history of the two top symbols—the flag and the trident. We talk to Ukrainians living abroad about how they will celebrate. We round up the best of the live events, including Natalie Vikhrov's visit to a military hospital to talk with soldiers unable to attend the festivities.

It's another classic Kyiv Post edition - we hope you pick up a hard copy or PDF or go online.

Thanks to all of you from all of us at the Kyiv Post, Ukraine's Global Voice in English.
