NEW YORK – Ukrainian Americans, representatives of several waves of immigration from Ukraine and their progeny, filled New York’s Times Square with the blue and yellow colors of Ukraine’s national flag and beautiful Ukrainian embroidery in celebration of the 24th anniversary of the renewal of Ukraine’s independence. They came together as a flashmob on the evening of August 23, carrying Ukrainian flags and banners, singing Ukrainian songs and the national anthem of Ukraine, and greeting each other with the words “Glory to Ukraine – glory to the heroes.” Among those demonstrating their Ukrainian pride was Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations, Yuriy Sergeyev, attending in an unofficial capacity. (For photos and information about more community celebrations of Ukrainian Independence Day, see pages 14-15.)

Aid not making dents in Ukraine’s anti-corruption effort, says EU auditor<h5>Findings come ahead of annual high-level summit in Kyiv</h5>
KYIV – An independent report by the European Union’s (EU) independent outside auditor of finances said the 27-member state body’s reform assistance to Ukraine has proven ineffective “in fighting grand corruption” and establishing the rule of law. The damning report, published on September 23 by the European Court of Auditors (ECA), stated that the 12.2 billion euros in various forms of assistance and loan guarantees provided to Ukraine since 2014 have “not delivered the expected results.”
