Our state will end this war in the way Ukrainians need and regain security. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Youth Day at a meeting with participants of the Ukrainian Youth Forum.
"Our beautiful generations and your future children will always have in Ukraine the opportunity to realize their talents, to feel needed, especially needed by Ukraine, to provide for their families, and to educate their children. These are all absolutely important things, fundamental things that we must ensure, and we will ensure. I am confident that we will do this together," the Head of State said.
The President thanked the boys and girls who fight and work for Ukraine and support our defense.
The participants observed a minute of silence in memory of all fallen Ukrainians.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, it is also extremely important to promote the Ukrainian idea and culture, the truth about the situation in our country and about the suffering of our people.
