Dear Friends,

Fellow Ukrainians,

Today we celebrate one of the most important holidays for our nation – the Independence Day of Ukraine. This date is a symbol of our freedom, unwavering will and aspiration to develop among free and equal nations of the world.

For Ukrainians, freedom has never been a given – it has always been won through struggle and sacrifice.

Ukraine has gone through a difficult path of formation and affirmation of its statehood. Today, we continue to defend our right to a peaceful and dignified future, relying on the unity of our people and the support of our true friends and reliable partners.

We bow our heads in memory and pay deep tribute to all Ukrainian defenders who stand guard over the freedom and independence of our state. In your courage and resilience lies the strength of the Ukrainian spirit and the greatness of our history.

I would also like to thank the Ukrainian community in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for your active stance, your support of our homeland and your contribution to strengthening the bonds of friendship between Ukraine and the Kingdom.

Together, we are paving our way to victory – to a bright future for our state!

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!

Glory to our Heroes!
