A strong leader is the one who protects everyone's life.

Our land is unique, lovely, unbreakable, incredible, amazing, fabulous, wonderful, beautiful. If it was not for our Homeland, humanity might not even know these words. After all, they were invented to describe Ukraine. And today it marks the 28th anniversary of Independence. Over the years we have done the most important thing. We have multiplied them. Preserved independence and freedom. And we preserve it today. Some people do so at the cost of their freedom, and others at the cost of their life.
