Enjoy the fullest compilation!
Some look a bit unnatural, comic and over-multiculturalized (the get-together one below, sung in Ukrainian).
At the end of the day, we’re not a nation of immigrants. I mean we’re not as ethnically diverse as Canada, Australia and the US. (That may change as we borrow another 7 billion dollars from the IMF and lend another 7 million of our population to the great beyond.)
The point is, when it comes to ethnic makeup, we’re more like France, Germany and Poland. It’s just that we’re a bit less Westernized and more Russified.
In other words, we’re not Europe. We’re not the West. We’re stupid savages that trade nukes for nothing and tolerate crooks. We’re Eurasia, a label promoted by the US Department of Sweet Harvests and Reset Buttons.
That said, it’s important that Ukrainians of all creeds and colors live in the spirit of e pluribus unum. In this regard, learning to speak Ukrainian as fluently as one’s mother tongue would be a plus:)

Happy Independence Day, Taras! Slava Ukraini!
Happy Independence Day! Your anthem is very nice. Hungarians in Ukraine pronounce Ukraine different as we do it in Hungary. They said Ukraina while we call Ukraine Ukrajna.
Thank you, John! Heroyam slava!:)
Köszönöm, Ropi! Did they sing without an accent?:)
They had a little.
Very nice. Must make one correction. The "Hebrew" version is in Yiddish, not Hebrew. Otherwise, beautiful and fascinating
Thank you!
I stand corrected:)
