32 years old. Some will say that the country is still young. Maybe so. We've made a lot of mistakes, already learned a lot of lessons, and gained a lot of different experiences. Not perfect. That's for sure, but we know what we're aiming for. We know what kind of country we want to build. We know what we want to leave as a legacy to our children and grandchildren.

Independence!

It would seem a word. But it means so much to each of us. Because we, like no one else, have been fighting for our right to live freely and be Ukrainians for many centuries. Just be. Just exist. Live freely on your own land.

In fact, if you think about it, not everyone can afford it. It scares some people. Because it's also a big responsibility. Live your own life. Some even thought, " How dare they!»

We dare! Independence and will flow and have always flowed through our veins! And no matter how hard someone tries and wants to, blood is not water. This is something that cannot be changed. And so it will always be! We will always be free and always strive for independence! And in this we are united!

And we continue to fight. Fight for your right to life. The right to live and create freely. The right to create your own life and give this world new things. And as our great Countryman said: "fight-you will fight. God helps you!"

And on this day, we would like to express our gratitude to all our defenders and defenders separately. Because it is thanks to you that we can celebrate this holiday on our own land!

Happy Independence Day, native country!
