We are all children of Ukraine, regardless of language, religion and nationality, and no one can be given a chance to sow discord between us, as stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a speech at the celebrations of the 29th anniversary of independence.
“I also think every mother wants her children not to quarrel. So, maybe children should stop competing who loves their mother more and more correctly? Ukraine dreams of us being united and cohesive. And we can definitely make such a gift to it,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
“We must remember that, regardless of language, religion, nationality, we are brothers and sisters. We are all children of Ukraine. And we should not give anyone a chance to sow discord between us. To neither neighbors nor internal strangers. Those who have been robbing our mother Ukraine for many years, because they never considered it home,” the Head of State emphasized.
The President sadly stated that now part of the territory of Ukraine is occupied. However, he noted, the authorities are doing everything possible to return these lands under the blue-yellow flag.
“nfortunately, today our family table lacks Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea. But we do our best for the day to come when they return. To a country they do not recognize. Which we are building together with you today. A country that will be the first in Europe in terms of human happiness, not just in terms of size of its territory. Although we will not give our happiness or our territories to anyone,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
He also noted that he sees Ukraine as a country for which the highest value is the life and health of a citizen, regardless of his political preferences, for which the state is ready to fight, wherever he may be.
“And I will do my best so that every citizen of Ukraine in any corner of the planet clearly knows: I am Ukrainian, so my state will not leave me,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
The President is convinced we should jointly build a country capable of dealing with any challenges: the aggressor, the virus or the global crisis. A country where our people will want to return by good roads.
“A country where there will be lively disputes only about how to name the rocket that Ukraine launches into space, and in whose honor to name the built corvette,” the Head of State added.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy invited everyone who is ready to help build such a country to join this process.
“Fellow Ukrainians! We can only create a dream country together,” he concluded.
