On 24 August, Ukraine marks its Independence Day. For Ukrainians, independence is the right to live on our own land, speak our language, choose our future and refuse submission to the Russian occupier.

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine began in 2014 and escalated into a full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022. Since then, our freedom has been defended every day by people who left civilian life for military service, hold the line, protect our skies, save the wounded and return Ukrainian land.

The IQusion team marks Ukraine’s Independence Day. Above all, we thank the service members and every member of the Defence Forces protecting our country right now. We bow our heads in memory of the fallen and await the return of prisoners of war and the missing. We wish every family endurance and safety, and Ukraine victory, a just and lasting peace, and the renewal of a strong sovereign state.
