We always remember this, especially on this day, January 22, the Day of Unity of Ukraine.
I am writing this address on St.
Sophia Square.
A historical place.
A place of strength.
A place of wisdom given to us by the events that took place here over a hundred years ago, and subsequent episodes of our history, which prove when we fight, we certainly gain what is ours, but when we quarrel, we lose what is ours.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy President of Ukraine The Head of State recalled that it was after the Act of Union that RightBank and LeftBank Ukraine united into a single state.Despite this, discord and enemies not only external, but also internal prevented the independent country from existing for long.
Several generations lived under foreign flags, traditions, which were dictated how to live, how to speak, how to think, whom to love, whom to hate.
This is what not having ones own statehood is, this is what losing independence is, Zelensky added.
Russias fullscale war has become a challenge for UkraineAs Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted, it was on February 24, 2022 that Ukrainians had to prove how important it is to preserve unity and stand side by side.It was a challenge for all the people, but it did not frighten them.
And we united At the call from within.
And together we were able to stand In the word together lies the hidden power of Ukrainians.
This is about what we are capable of when we choose not some of our own ambitions, but Ukraine When we choose not a scythe, but a sword.
To defend our own.
To defend our own.
To defend with all our might.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy President of Ukraine According to the head of state, all future generations of Ukrainians will come to Sofia Square on all holidays under the blueyellow flag and in our state.
And we will do everything to make it so.
So that we are not ashamed in front of them, so that they know that we have not repeated the mistakes of the past.
And Ukraine exists.
Ukraine is united.
Peaceful.
United.
