Medal of 25 years of Ukrainian independence

The Jubilee Medal “25 Years of Ukraine’s Independence” [Ювілейна медаль «25 років незалежності України»] is a distinction of the President of Ukraine, established to appropriately mark a significant event in the history of national state-building—the 25th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.

The distinction was established to recognize citizens for significant personal contributions to the establishment of an independent Ukraine, the affirmation of its sovereignty and the strengthening of its international standing; for significant contributions to state-building and to social, economic, cultural and educational development; for active public and political activity; and for conscientious and exemplary service to the Ukrainian people.

The medal was designed by O. O. Lezhniev.
