On January 22, 1918, the proclamation of the Central Rada declared independence of the Ukrainian People's Republic. A year later, on January 22, 1919, the Act of Reunification (association) of the Ukrainian lands into a united Ukraine was proclaimed (namely the associations of the Ukrainian People's Republic and West Ukrainian People's Republic that arose on the ruins of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires) on Sofiyska Square in Kyiv.
