Happy Independence Day of Ukraine! 
35 years ago, Ukrainians chose to establish their own independent state. Today, Ukraine continues to defend that choice — while also continuing to develop the country.
Every day, we see this in Ukrainian hromadas: they support their residents, rebuild, seek new solutions, and thrive.
The Polaris team works side by side with hromadas and partners to strengthen local self-government, develop Swedish-Ukrainian cooperation, and create the conditions for hromadas to successfully move toward the EU.
We wish Ukraine a dignified peace, and we wish local self-government the strength, resilience, and opportunities to move forward.
