President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Ukrainians on the occasion of the Day of the Unity of Ukraine. The head of the country reminded of the importance of unity and the lessons of history that help preserve the country’s independence.
He published the video in Telegram.
The President recalled that it was on Sofia Square that the Act of Unification was proclaimed more than a hundred years ago, when Right-Bank and Left-Bank Ukraine united into a single state. But ambition, internal strife and the actions of enemies, both external and internal, led to the loss of statehood for decades.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized that this was a period when foreign traditions were imposed on Ukrainians, and they were forbidden to think and speak freely.
Assembly Day is not only about history, but also about modernity, Zelenskyy added.
According to him, Ukrainians remembered this date symbolically for many years, but on February 24, 2022, we had to confirm the power of unity in practice. Then, in the conditions of a full-scale war, the people united not declaratively, not on paper, but by a call from within.
“Millions of us are together. And together they were able to resist, save Ukraine together, repulsed the occupier, held back this great influx together. In this word – “together” – hidden strength of Ukrainians. This is about us, about what we are capable of when we choose Ukraine, not our own ambitions. We choose her interests. When we choose a sword rather than a sword. Protect your own. Protect your own. Defend with all your might”
President of Ukraine
The President recalled that in the most difficult moments, when there were not enough weapons for all the volunteers, there was plenty of courage, care and faith in Ukraine.
Strength was enough for everyone – all those who proved that the native land is not limited only to one’s own backyard. This is exactly what the cathedral is – the unity that is necessary to fight for one’s right to live in peace, he added.
According to the head of state, the Ukrainian land belongs to each of its inhabitants, and our capital, Sofia Square, is a place that is a symbol of all Ukrainians. Sofia has stood for more than a thousand years and will stand for just as long.
The President expressed his confidence that our children, grandchildren, and future generations will come to this square – both on Sobornosty Day and on other holidays, under the blue-yellow flag of independent Ukraine.
He emphasized that Ukrainians will do everything so that they are not ashamed in front of their descendants and that they know that the mistakes of the past have not been repeated. There is Ukraine, it is united, peaceful and cathedral.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukrainians to be strong, to believe in themselves and in the country. He emphasized that the unity of Ukraine is not only about the two banks of the Dnieper, but about the whole world where there are Ukrainians.
The President mentioned all those who were born in different parts of the country, soldiers, children, doctors, volunteers, teachers, energy workers, all those who, through their daily work, say: “I am a Ukrainian, I am a Ukrainian.”
In conclusion, he congratulated the Ukrainians on the Day of Sobornosty, wishing them strength and faith in joint victory.
