Ukraine has been under enormous information pressure for a long time. Therefore, in the face of possible threats, the nation must unite, because it gives us peace of mind. This was emphasized by the Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during the UARazom Marathon of Unity on February 16.

"When there are a lot of us, when we understand that we are united in our intentions, that we have a strong army, that we can defend our independence, our land, traditions, history - then we feel calm. Then we understand that it is impossible to overcome us," stressed Denys Shmyhal.

The Prime Minister noted that these days Ukraine faced a number of challenges, including hybrid aggression by Russia, gas blackmail in Europe, cyber and information attacks.

"During these eight years, we have become much stronger. Today we have a stronger army than in 2014, a stronger state. Despite all the challenges, we are finding ways to develop. We are smoothly going through the heating season, today we are defending the interests of our country at the diplomatic level. There are no real threats to Ukraine's economy," the Prime Minister stressed.

According to Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine currently has more than $ 29 billion in gold and foreign exchange reserves, a stable treasury account and a record dollar GDP. According to the Head of Government, all these economic things largely depend on the stability and peace of Ukrainians.

"When we unite, it stabilizes the country and gives us the opportunity to move forward with confidence," the Head of Government emphasized.

The Prime Minister highlighted that Ukrainians from all regions and towns on the Day of Unity had proved that they know how to unite, guard their visions and their land.
