The feat of our defenders, the descendants of the Ukrainian freedom-loving Cossacks, is difficult to overestimate.
Not only today, but every day and every night we thank you for protecting Ukraine. And our gratitude will never be enough.
Whether you are career soldiers or yesterday’s civilians, you are doing the impossible to keep the sky above our children. Your courage and resilience are impressive and inspiring. In daily danger, risking everything, you counteract the evil that has encroached on the lives, land and freedom of Ukrainians for centuries.
You are the Heroes for whom the whole world prays. May the Protection of the Holy Virgin protect you at every step.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to its defenders!
Eternal memory and a low bow to the fallen.
