Today Mariupol morning has begun with a solemn meeting dedicated to the Day of the State Flag of Ukraine. A blue-and-yellow panel of flowers was installed on Liberty Square and the Mayor Vadim Boichenko congratulated Mariupol on the holiday.

The meeting was attended by the representatives of the city government, the deputy corps, law enforcement officers, military and residents. Under the National Anthem Mayor of Mariupol, commander of ‘Vostok’ united territorial community, Major-General Alexander Krasnok and the future of our city, an athlete, finalist of the world and Europe championships in diving Nika Shurda, raised the Flag of Ukraine.

‘Today our blue-yellow flag flies over our Ukrainian Mariupol. This is not only a symbol of our state. In recent years, for each of us, it has become a symbol of courage, liberty and independence of our state. This symbol has united our nation. The colors of bread, blue sky have united all Ukrainians,’
Vadim Boichenko said.

The mayor told how much the flag of Ukraine means for each of us.

‘The flag of Ukraine for many Ukrainians has become a symbol of hope for a peaceful future who joined our Mariupol family from Gorlovka, Makeyevka and Donetsk. I am proud of our nation, Ukraine and the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. I want a country of peace and you agree on each other. Mariupol was and will always be a symbol of the strength of our state!’,
the Mayor stressed.

 The meeting ended with the song ‘Ukraine is me’. It was touchingly performed by adult soloists together with Mariupol children.
