Thirty-five years ago on this day, Ukraine gained independence.
And the fact that Kharkiv stands today, that the city lives, studies and works even under shelling, is the price and meaning of this day. This is the strength and will that our people have acquired over these years.
This is the answer, where does the strength come from in the young generation that was born and raised over these 35 years. And which from the first day stood up for the defense of Ukraine.
This is the answer, where did the strength come from in 16-year-old Stepan Chubenko from Kramatorsk, Tigran Ogannisyan and Mykyta Khanganov from Berdyansk, our Kharkiv resident Danya Didik...
Eternal memory to those who paid the highest price for the freedom and independence of Ukraine.
A low bow to all who are now on the front line. To those who left a peaceful life and for the sake of the sun above Ukraine go into the fire, bringing to the altar of freedom the most precious thing that a person has - their life.
Thank you to those who are behind the scenes — treating, teaching, building, repairing, working, and keeping the city going.
Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
Glory to the Ukrainian people!
Glory to the Heroes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
