Event: Ukraine Unity Day commemoration at the burrial site of Director Andrey Makarenko๐ฃ
On January 22, 1919, Director Makarenko was one of six signatories of the agreement to unite the Ukrainian National Republic (ะฃะะ ) and the West Ukrainian National Republic (ะะฃะะ ), uniting all of Ukraine for the first time in 255 years.
The agreement is also known as the Universal of the Directory of the Ukrainian People's Republic.
Director Makarenko, from February 9 to May 25, 1919, shared the executive leadership of Ukraine in The Directory, with Fedir Shvets and General Simeyon Petliura. Of the 7 Heads of State that served independent Ukraine after the First World War, he is the only one not buried in Europe.
In this time of war, Ukraine is more united than ever before in history. Director Makarenko is a symbol of a shared American and Ukrainian history, heritage, and embraced citizenship, is proof and evidence of Ukraine's existence as a nation, and represents all Ukrainians that have gone abroad worldwide supported by their culture, nationality, Belief, Faith and new communities.
Please forward this to anyone you know that can attend, so that America and the world may know our strength and resolve to be united, victorious and free.
