35th Anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence

Independence is the heartbeat of Ukrainian identity. To mark the 35th anniversary of our sovereignty, the Devon Ukrainian Association (DUA) CIC is hosting a series of commemorative events throughout August 2026. Our goal is to celebrate our resilience, preserve our heritage for the next generation, and build lasting bridges of friendship with our local Devon community. We invite you to join us in making this milestone a moment of unity, culture, and hope.
