Ukraine Declares Independence

Referendum Results

On December 1, 1991, a referendum was held in Ukraine on the Act of Declaration of Independence. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of independence, with 92% of voters approving the declaration.

Historical Context

In 1991, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union and was facing growing pressure for independence. A failed putsch in Moscow in August 1991 led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and provided Ukraine with an opportunity to declare independence.

Crimea's Role

In 1991, Crimea was granted autonomous republic status within Ukraine. Crimeans supported the vote for Ukrainian independence, albeit by a small majority.
