Dear union members, colleagues and friends!
I congratulate you on the most important holiday for every Ukrainian!
Our Independence is 33!
We have been going to it for hundreds of years! Our culture has been appropriated and erased, our history rewritten, and our identity changed. Our achievements were downplayed, and our artists, scientists, and public figures were destroyed.
But our struggle did not stop. We won our independence. And we continue to fight for our freedom and land. And just as the railroad tracks unite all corners of our homeland into a single canvas, we are united by the strongest feelings – freedom and hatred of the enemy.
Deepest respect and boundless gratitude to our stalwart defenders.
Eternal memory to the fallen.
Glory to Ukraine!
