Консульський відділ: https://www.facebook.com/consuluausa Diplomatic relations were established on January 3, 1992.
The United States of America recognized Ukraine as an independent state on December 26, 1991. The Embassy in the US was one of the first 18 embassies of Ukraine to be opened in the world in 1992.
Today is a mourning day in for the victims of Russia's attack on August 30.
6 civilians were killed, including a 14-year-old girl who died near a playground.
Over 80 people were wounded. Among them are 22 children, including a 10-month-old infant.
🇺🇦🇺🇸 Honoring the memory ofUkrainian defenders and the American heroes who fought alongside them. Yesterday, on Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Ukraine, we presented 🇺🇦 state awards to the families of American fallen heroes.
Memory eternal to those who defended freedom!
Grateful to the R. T. Weatherman Foundation for their support in organizing the event.
This year, 140 incredibly strong athletes, 96 men and 44 women, will represent Ukraine at the Paralympic Games 2024. Over 23% of the team members will be competing for the first time. Overall, throughout our history, Ukraine has won a total of 613 medals at the Paralympics, 187 of which are gold!
For the first time in 8 years, Ukraine's sitting volleyball team will participate in the Games. The team includes 2 veterans of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. Ukrainian athletes will also debut in sports like boccia and handbike racing.
The Ukrainian demonstrated by our athletes is a testament to resilience, courage, and the ability to never give up. We are grateful to our athletes, who, despite the many challenges and hardships of war, proudly represent our country in international competitions.
It was an honor to meet Andriy Smolenskyy, a brave Ukrainian veteran undergoing treatment in the U.S., and his wife Alina yesterday at the embassy. Their resilience and dedication are a powerful reminder of the unbreakable spirit of Ukraine.
We are forever grateful to our defenders for their unwavering fight for freedom!
10 years ago, Russia shot down columns of Ukrainian defenders as they passed through sunflower fields during an agreed withdrawal near Ilovaisk Today, not only sunflowers remind us of the price our warriors pay, but also the hundreds of small flags on Independence Square in Kyiv.
Today, on the Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Ukraine fallen in the struggle for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as every day, we honor those who sacrificed their life for the independent & free future of our country.
Glory to the Heroes!🕯️
Those who prove that there is nothing impossible for them – this year, Ukrainian athletes will participate in the Summer Paralympic Games, which will take place from August 28 to September 8 in Paris, for the eighth time! 🇫🇷
For the eighth time, Ukrainians will show on the world stage what means – an indomitable will to win, a desire to demonstrate our superpower to the whole world. This year, the Ukrainian national Paralympic team plans to compete in 17 out of the 22 sports – this is a record in Ukraine's Paralympic history!
Thank you to our athletes for their resilience. We wish them to proudly and triumphantly carry the Ukrainian flag in international competitions! 🇺🇦
No matter how many buildings russia destroys, it will never break the Ukrainian spirit🇺🇦
The Ukrainian trident – tryzub – is a true symbol of Ukrainian . In fact, you can even spot this word within its form! However, this is just one interpretation of what it might symbolize.
The Ukrainian coat of arms has a history spanning over a thousand years, but it is also a symbol of a modern nation.
In 1918, the government of the Ukrainian People’s Republic adopted the trident as the state coat of arms. Ultimately, the ancient symbol of Kyivan Rus was chosen to represent Ukraine’s state and national unity.
On February 19, 1992, the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, approved the Small State Emblem of Ukraine, one of the three official symbols of our state. Its status was further enshrined in the Constitution in 1996.
Historically, the trident was the ancestral sign of the Rurik dynasty (10th-12th century).
The Ukrainian trident has become an enduring symbol for those who fought for Ukraine’s independence 100 years ago and for those who defend it on the frontline today 🇺🇦
🇺🇦 in Washington, D.C. was filled with warm and moving events. The embassy team participated in a poignant poetry slam at the Taras Shevchenko monument organized by Irena Chalupa, UNWLA - Ukrainian National Women's League of America, Inc. We recited and listened to poems about love for Ukraine, resilience, and our ongoing fight for independence.
Later, Deputy Chief of Mission Denys Sienik delivered a speech at the rally near the White House, emphasizing the sacrifices made by Ukrainian defenders for the triumph of freedom. One of them was among the speakers. Ukrainian veteran Andriy, currently receiving treatment in the U.S., shared a heartfelt message, expressing gratitude to America for its unwavering support.
This beautiful day ended with a concert at the Taras Shevchenko monument, attended by children of the Ukrainian School DC - Школа Українознавста.
Thank you, Nadiya Shaporynska, US Ukrainian Activists, for bringing together supporters of Ukraine, the Ukrainian diaspora, and local Ukrainian-American groups and organizations. We are grateful to all the speakers and everyone who joined the rally!
🇺🇦 Ukraine’s independence means the independence of every citizen – true , which Ukrainians demonstrate to the world every day.
Indeed, we thank our defenders for making it possible for us to celebrate this day in an independent country. We remember the price paid by the fallen soldiers in the fight for our present and an equally independent future.
Glory to Ukraine! Happy Independence Day!
🇺🇦 The Embassy team started Ukrainian Independence Day with a traditional event Vyshyvanka Run organised by United Help Ukraine.
A wonderful way to kick off the celebrations, with Ukrainians, Americans and friends of Ukraine from other countries 💙💛

Heroiam Slava! Grateful to U.S. Department of State for standing with Ukraine as we defend our common freedom! 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸
Ukraine’s blue and yellow flag is an important symbol of an independent Ukraine. It's also a global symbol of bravery.
Blue represents the sky while yellow represents wheat fields. Following the collapse of tsarist Russia in 1917, Ukraine used the flag during the 1917-1921 Ukrainian War of Independence.
Ukraine’s parliament designated the current flag as the national flag in 1992, six months after the independence vote.
Today, as we celebrate Day of the National Flag, Ukraine’s blue and yellow flag flies worldwide in solidarity with the nation’s fight to defend its sovereignty.
🇺🇦 Blue is for the endless sky, protected by Ukrainian defenders. Yellow is for the fields of grain, carefully tended by Ukrainian farmers.
Today, the Ukrainian flag flows prominently in many parts of the world, symbolizing our freedom and . The support for the will to victory and just peace of Ukrainians is truly invaluable.
Happy Ukraine’s National Flag Day! May our flag wave proudly across all 603,628 km² of independent Ukraine 🫂
🇺🇦 Today, as we celebrate National of Ukraine, we honor more than just a symbol. Our blue and yellow flag represents our independence, unity, and relentless fight for freedom. It embodies our long history, victories, and dreams. Every time we raise it, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for Ukraine and those who continue to fight for its future.
Thank you, America, for your unwavering support!
In Ukrainian, means both freedom and will. This concept has become a national trait, and it repeatedly appears in Ukrainian literature
Would you like to know more about how Ukrainians talk about it in poetry and prose? 🤔
We've gathered the most striking examples of volia along the lines of Ukrainian authors.
🇺🇦 On August 24, Ukraine will celebrate its 33rd Independence Day. For nearly thirty months, we have been standing firm against full-scale Russian aggression. Throughout this time, the Ukrainian people have continually inspired the world with their resilience, courage, and unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy.

What is volia?
Volia is resilience and how it manifests in the life of every Ukrainian. It’s the ability to never give up. It’s the strength to pass on courage and spirit from generation to generation. Today, Ukrainians are easing “im-” from the “impossible” – on the frontline, in the air, at sea, in diplomatic negotiations, and on many other platforms.
This is Ukrainian , this is .
Deputy Head of Mission Denys Sienik is in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention which is taking place on August 19-22. On the margins of the Convention, several special side events of the International Leaders Forum (ILF) are being organized by the National Democratic Institute.
Mr. Sienik thanked the participants—Americans and representatives from NATO partner states—including Lieutenant Governor of California E.Kounalakis, former Governor of Michigan J.Blanchard, and Member of the Parliament of Canada, Chair of National Defense Committee J.McKay, Deputy Speaker of the Seimas (Parliament) of Lithuania Z.Pavilionis for their support of Ukraine in its fight for freedom and democracy against Russian aggression.
On the stage:
▶️ Congresswoman D.Wasserman-Schultz spoke strongly against autocratic Russia.
▶️ Former NATO Secretary General and member of the House of Lords of the UK Parliament (Labour Party) G.Robertson emphasized the nature of Russia’s aggression as an existential threat to democracy and an attempt to reconstitute the Soviet Union—not limited only to Ukraine, but aimed at spreading further and imposing fear.
▶️ Foreign Minister of Denmark L.Rasmussen stressed Denmark’s support for Ukraine and the need to provide Ukraine with a clear perspective of NATO membership, as well as further support in regaining its territory. He added that Ukraine’s membership in NATO would secure peace.
The first national convention of the Democratic Party was held in Baltimore on May 21, 1832. This year’s Democratic National Convention is the twelfth hosted by the city of Chicago since 1864.
A total of 4619 delegates from all U.S. states and territories are participating in this year’s Convention.
🚂 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸 This week, as part of the Whistlestops for Ukraine tour, Ambassador Oksana Markarova and First Secretary Katja Smagliy visited alongside Heather A. Conley, President of the The German Marshall Fund of the United States.
Ambassador Markarova met with City of Des Moines City Council members and other local officials. Iowa’s deep connection with Ukraine dates back to 1996, when it became a sister state to the Cherkasy region. 🇺🇸 Muscatine, Newton, and Marshalltown have established sister-city ties with 🇺🇦 Drohobych, Smila, and Zdolbuniv.
At the West Des Moines Rotary Club, Ambassador Markarova expressed her heartfelt thanks to the Rotarians for their extensive projects supporting and raising funds for those affected by the war in Ukraine. They discussed how the war’s outcome will profoundly influence global security and prosperity.
The day concluded at the iconic Iowa State Fair, where Oksana Markarova joined Governor Kim Reynolds for the traditional pork chop flipping, followed by a tour of the agricultural exhibits with Senator Joni Ernst, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig, and Des Moines Mayor Connie Boesen.
We are grateful to Iowa for its hospitality and solidarity with Ukraine in its fight for freedom! Looking forward to expanding connections in agriculture, biotech, and innovation!
This visit to Iowa was the 6th Whistlestops4UKR tour organized by GMF. The Whistlestops4UKR tour across America was inspired by Truman's 1948 Marshall Plan tour. The tour strengthens 🇺🇦🇺🇸 bonds and highlights our shared values. The next Whistlestop tour will be heading to Colorado on September 5th.

🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸 Today, Deputy Ambassador Denys Sienik and Defense Attaché of Ukraine to the USA, Borys Kremenetskyi, warmly welcomed at the Embassy the second group of students from the Kruty Heroes Lviv Lyceum.
During their visit, the students engaged in discussions about the professional and career paths of diplomats and the roles they play in representing and defending Ukraine.
This enriching trip for the lyceum students was made possible through the efforts of Bogdana Krivogorsky, the Cross Bridges charity foundation, along with generous contributions from supporters.
We wish the lyceum students every success on their journey!

Ambassador Oksana Markarova extended heartfelt congratulations to Lviv Croissants 🥐 and Andriy Galytsky on the opening of their first U.S. bakery, now serving in Roswell, Georgia. She expressed her gratitude to the U.S. Commercial Service and U.S. Embassy Kyiv Ukraine for their invaluable support in making this milestone possible.
In her video remarks, Ambassador Markarova also thanked Roswell Mayor Kurt Wilson and wished Lviv Croissants continued success in expanding their brand across the American market.
We are excited to see 🇺🇦 cuisine and culture continue to gain popularity across the United States! 💙💛

Deputy Chief of Mission Denys Sienik met with the participants of the Osgood Center’s 2024 Summer Symposium on Foreign Policy.
Named after Robert E. Osgood, the third dean of Johns Hopkins SAIS, and Gretchen A.

Killing Ukrainian athletes, destroying 🇺🇦 sports facilities, involving 🇷🇺 military into their Olympic Committee, violating international law by occupying the territories of the sovereign state… Are their war crimes still not convincing enough to #BoycottRussianSport, @Olympics? #BoycottRussianSport
#BoycottRussianSport Ambassador Оксана Маркарова visited the pre-premiere screening of the documentary “Athletes of war” (director Gabriel Veras). This film is a key component in starting an international movement to persuade the IOC to ban Russia from the Olympics. They cheated with the doping scandal in the last Olympics, and now they invaded a sovereign, peaceful country, and have committed war crimes. The film aims to promote that movement and to give voice to the Ukrainian Athletes, many of whom are soldiers today. "While the IOC allows Russian athletes to compete in the 2024 Olympics, a raging war cripples Ukraine. 'Athletes of War' is a powerful documentary film about the resilience of Ukrainians, the importance of teamwork, national identity, and the unifying power of world sports. I have had the pleasure of being part of this very important project that is coming soon!" - said Ambassador.
Olympic Principle #7: "Belonging to the Olympic Movement requires compliance with the Olympic Charter and recognition by the IOC”. There were only 7 principles, but #Russians managed to violate them ALL. Now, the most logical question arises: Will @Olympic allow 🇷🇺 propaganda to once again exploit the Olympic movement for its own purposes? This decision is way too long-awaited. It's rather you allow the Russian military and propaganda machine to rule, or you #BoycottRussianSport once and for all.
