This holiday reminds us that we are a nation with ancient roots, an indomitable will, and the courage of generations. We honour the thousand-year history of our statehood, which dates back to the times of Kyivan Rus, as well as the relentless struggle for independence.

May this day strengthen our faith, inspire us, and unite us.

May the spirit and strength of our ancestors inspire Ukrainians to victory and to the building of a strong and independent Ukraine. We believe in our state, we are proud of its history, and together we are building a bright future!

We wish unity and prosperity to every Ukrainian family!
