Dear compatriots!
Today we celebrate one of the most important dates in our history – Ukraine’s Independence Day. This is the day when we, as a nation, raised our flag proudly and high, declaring to the whole world our desire for freedom, democracy and national sovereignty.
Our independence is not just a fact of history, but a living spirit that pulsates in the hearts of every Ukrainian.
Every day of our independence has been a hard test of our strength and ability to unite for a common goal. It is a path full of challenges, but also of achievements that show us the indomitable nature of the Ukrainian spirit.
We, Ukrainians, have proven to the world that we are ready to stand up for our principles, our freedom and our land. Independence has become our guide to the future, where we see Ukraine strong, prosperous and free.
This day reminds us of our heroes who gave their lives for our independence, of those who are now defending our country on all fronts – military, economic, and diplomatic.
We, as a nation, face new challenges, but together, through joint efforts, we are able to overcome all difficulties and strengthen our country.
May this holiday inspire each of us to new achievements in the name of our country.
May our faith in Ukraine be unshakable and its independence eternal.
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
With gratitude and respect
