Accept the warmest congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the great national holiday of our statehood - Independence Day of Ukraine!
Today, more than ever before, this holiday makes high demands on each of us, prompts us to take special responsibility towards ourselves, our country, and future generations, since this is one of the most difficult periods of modern Ukraine, because human blood is shed, we suffer from external armed aggression.

We wish all of you, dear countrymen, in these difficult days to jointly and steadfastly continue to defend the sovereignty of our state, multiply its traditions and benefits, as conscience and conscience demand.
