To mark Ukrainian Independence Day, ITN Archive is presenting three reports from 1990-91, charting the rise of the Ukrainian independence movement amid the disintegration of the USSR.
The third of these reports is from 26 August 1991, two days after Ukraine's declaration of independence from the Soviet Union. The report captures the separatist momentum in Ukraine overtaking Gorbachev's attempts to recover Soviet unity in the wake of the failed coup of 19-22 August.
