603,628 km² Black T-shirt

As Russia continues to demand Ukraine’s surrender of five Ukrainian regions — Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea — this T-shirt delivers a clear message: 603,628 square kilometers is the only correct size of Ukraine.

Home to millions of Ukrainians, including some members of the team at the Kyiv Independent, these regions are an integral part of Ukrainian territory. In total, Ukraine covers 603,628 square kilometers, from Crimea to the Carpathians — making it the largest country located solely in Europe. 

With the incredible support of our readers, the Kyiv Independent’s e-store has successfully raised $7,900 for East SOS through our recent initiative. Our partnership with East SOS began in June and concluded on Aug. 10. East SOS is a Ukrainian charitable foundation that provides comprehensive assistance to Ukrainians in front-line regions and internally displaced people (IDPs).
