On November 21, the Ukrainian people celebrated the Day of Dignity and Freedom.

This day demonstrates that for us dignity and freedom are an important element of our statehood, without which it is impossible to exist.

For us, slavery is a humiliation. Loss of freedom is a loss of honor.  That is why we are ready to fight at the cost of our own lives in order not to lose the most important thing – Ukraine!

Every day the Ukrainian nation proves that dignity and freedom are stronger than the baseness and terror organized by the aggressor.

Every day we must become stronger and be victorious on all the fronts that Ukraine is fighting today to defend its independence!

Eternal memory to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, to the heroes who were among the first to go to the East to defend Ukraine, and to all the defenders who gave their lives for Ukraine's independence.

The price of our freedom is high, let us remember that!
