Every year on August 24, Ukrainians celebrate the main national holiday - the Independence Day of Ukraine. On this day, we honor the greatest gift that a people can have - freedom and independence.
Independence is the highest award for a nation whose spirit cannot be broken, love for the Motherland cannot be destroyed, historical memory whose culture cannot be erased. It is a holiday of pride and unity, when the heart of every Ukrainian is filled with love for their native land.
More than ever before, today we are fully aware of the significance of this holiday for our people, the price paid by millions of Ukrainians for the fact that every year under the blue-yellow flag in national dress - embroidered jackets, we congratulate each other with pride and emotional awe on the Independence Day of Ukraine.
Let this day become a symbol of our strength, unity and indomitable spirit. We thank our defenders for the opportunity to live in an independent country. May peace and happiness always accompany each of us.
