UAOn July 4th, the Kyiv monument 'Batkivshchina-Matya' was illuminated in blue, white, and red colors representing the American flag to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States' declaration of independence. The initiative was led by the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, which described the event as a gesture of solidarity and gratitude towards the American people for their support of Ukraine. The monument, known as the world's first fully welded metal sculpture and taller than the Statue of Liberty, was lit alongside other locations such as the railway station. This event coincided with the National Bank of Ukraine releasing a commemorative silver coin featuring both the Statue of Liberty and the 'Batkivshchina-Matya' monument with a symbolic flame of freedom. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also held a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on the same day, wishing him and the American people a happy holiday and discussing further Ukrainian support.
