With the support of The Empire Group, one of Benin’s leading event organisers, the Embassy of Ukraine held a ceremony marking the 35th anniversary of the restoration of Ukraine’s independence.
The event brought together members of the Ukrainian community, representatives of the government institutions of the Republic of Benin, graduates of Ukrainian higher education institutions, and members of the media.
Guests viewed an exhibition of photographs documenting Russia’s war against Ukraine, as well as the flags of Ukrainian combat units signed by Ukrainian service members.
Video addresses by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha on the occasion of Ukraine’s Independence Day were also screened during the event.
Guests were also invited to sample traditional Ukrainian dishes.
We sincerely thank The Empire Group for supporting the event and all our guests for their participation, solidarity, and continued support for Ukraine.
