Dear compatriots!

Congratulations on the Day of Independence of Ukraine!

22 years ago, Ukraine gained its political sovereignty. Today, our country makes everything to achieve economic stability and welfare.

The path of our country demonstrates that we are able to develop our own state responsibly and independently.

Recently, we celebrated a significant holiday - 1025^th anniversary of Christianization of Kievan Rus'.

Christianization became a historical milestone that brought Kievan Rus' to the new civilizational level and led it to the family of Christian European nations.

Today, in difficult times for the world, I urge all Ukrainian citizens to unite for the sake of our common goal – establishment of economically powerful, democratic and independent Ukraine that would be the reason for pride for our parents and future generations.

I am confident that we are capable of this. Together, we will build a prosperous and socially fair state

I believe in Ukrainian people, its millennial wisdom, power and perseverance.

Congratulations on the Independence Day!
