"Today, our people demonstrate to the whole world an amazing willpower, strongly retaliate against the enemy, which seeks to destroy the unity and independence of the Ukrainian state, and jointly build a European country," the Head of State said.

The President wishes that God's grace will always be generous to all families and the Ukrainian land.
