Congratulation of Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman on the Day of Independence of Ukraine
Fellow Ukrainian citizens!
On behalf of the Government and me personally I congratulate You on the Day of Independence of Ukraine!
The Ukrainian nation gained its independence 26 years ago and obtained the
opportunity for self-realization and distinctive development among the free
people of the world. The secession from the totalitarian state took place
in a peaceful, legal way - the society unanimously supported the unalterable
aspiration of Ukrainians to live in their own state. Declaration
on the State Sovereignty of Ukraine, the Act of Declaration of Independence of
Ukraine and Ukrainian independence referendum on December 1, 1991, as well as
the recognition by the international community of the young state put a decisive
end to this matter.
