**Ukraine‘s Territory on Full Display: The 603,628 km² T-Shirt**
In the face of Russia’s demands for Ukrainian territory, a new product has been launched on the e-store of the Kyiv Independent – a powerful statement T-shirt that asserts Ukraine’s sovereignty over its internationally recognized borders.
The “603,628 km² T-shirt” is available in white and black, displaying a simple yet bold message: all of Ukraine, including the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea, remains an integral part of sovereign Ukraine. These five regions have been at the center of negotiations following recent peace talks in Istanbul, where Russia demanded their surrender as a prerequisite for a ceasefire.
**A Statement of Support**
The T-shirt’s message is clear: these regions are, and will always be, part of Ukraine. Their seizure by Russian forces since 2014 has been a blatant violation of international law. By wearing the “603,628 km² T-shirt”, individuals can make a powerful statement of support for Ukraine and demonstrate their solidarity with its people.
**Giving Back**
All profits from the sales of the T-shirt will be donated to East SOS, a Ukrainian charitable foundation that provides comprehensive assistance to Ukrainians in front-line regions and internally displaced people. This gesture is a direct response to the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia’s actions, and serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting those who have been affected.
**A Community Comes Together**
The launch of this T-shirt follows a previous successful fundraising campaign by the Kyiv Independent, which saw over 1,000 “I Stand With Ukraine” T-shirts sold to raise $24,500 for the Ukrainian charity Veteran Hub. This shows that independent journalism can thrive with the support of a community, rather than relying on paywalls.
**Join the Movement**
As the world continues to follow the situation in Ukraine, this T-shirt serves as a reminder that reliable information should be available to all. The Kyiv Independent is committed to keeping its reporting free and accessible to everyone, and encourages readers to join them in their mission to show the truth of Russia’s brutal war.
