On November 21, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Ukrainians on the Day of Dignity and Freedom. The greeting was published on the website of the President's Office.
In his address, Zelensky noted that 10 years ago, Ukrainians began a new page of struggle - "conducted their first counteroffensive against lawlessness, against an attempt to deprive them of their European future."
"Then, in fact, the first victory in today's war took place. The victory of indifference. A victory of courage. The victory of the Revolution of Dignity. The victory of popular resistance, civil society, the feat of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes and all those who fought for freedom in the capital and other regions," the president emphasized.
Zelensky added that a new round of our history is being created today, and it is up to the current generation to determine the direction it will take.
"We are strong. We must be strong. Because only the strong believe in the strong, only the strong create the future. Only the strong can be united. United to become free. Free to be worthy. For the sake of new times. When the central squares of our cities will receive new and forever unchanged names. In honor of the heroes. In honor of the liberators of Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol. In honor of the liberation of Donbas and Crimea. In honor of the reunification of Ukraine within its borders. When in history books years and centuries later they will write about the period of independence since 1991 as a continuous one," he said.
