This year, Ukraine celebrates the 35th anniversary of Independence — 35 years of struggle for the right to be a free state, years of formation, trials, achievements, and unwavering faith in its own future. Today, this date takes on a special meaning, because the Ukrainian people defend their independence every day in the war with the Russian aggressor.
As we prepare to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence, we think with special gratitude about those who made this day possible. About our Defenders. While we work, study, raise children, make plans, and prepare to celebrate the anniversary of Independence, they tirelessly, with weapons in their hands, defend Ukraine, deter the enemy, and fight for the right of the Ukrainian people to live in a free, independent state under the blue-and-yellow flag.
We remember every Hero who gave his life for the freedom and independence of Ukraine, and we bow our heads before their feat. We thank everyone who today defends our state, helps the army, saves people, and strengthens Ukraine with their daily work.
Our duty is to be a reliable rear for our soldiers, to preserve unity, support each other, and remember the true price of freedom.
We are from the same country . We share the same history. We share the same struggle. We share the same dream – to live in a free, strong, independent Ukraine.
