On December 1, 1991, a nationwide referendum confirmed the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine (Resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine No. 1427-XII of August 24, 1991).

The Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine 1991 is a political and legal document of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine that approved the new state status of the country and was adopted on August 24, 1991. This was a response to the real threat to the state sovereignty of Ukraine and the attempted coup on August 19, 1991, by reactionary-conservative forces in the top leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
