Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! Thank you to our defenders for protecting the state, and to everyone who supports people and works for the country. Our future requires mutual trust, responsibility and respect. We wish Ukrainian families good health, support and peace. We remember those who gave their lives for freedom.
