Congratulations to the United States on marking a historic milestone — the 250th anniversary of its Independence!

Today, as the United States marks a historic milestone – the 250th anniversary of its Independence – the American University Kyiv team sends our warmest congratulations.

For two and a half centuries, America has stood as a beacon of liberty, proving that a nation built on freedom and democracy can endure and thrive. Today, as Ukraine defends these shared democratic values on the frontline, this legacy is more meaningful than ever.

We are profoundly grateful to the American people, government, and our partners. Your unwavering support empowers AUK to nurture the next generation of global leaders who will champion our shared democratic ideals.

Happy 4th of July, America!
