Mariupol, I congratulate each of you on the main holiday of our country - the Independence Day of Ukraine! 28 years ago we chose the path of independent development and began to build a country on the principles of democracy and equality.
This holiday is for all Ukrainian people. For centuries, the right to live in a free state has been asserted. Therefore, Independence Day of Ukraine is a historic victory, which symbolizes unity and fortitude. She gave us a start to build a prosperous state under a blue and yellow flag.
The future of the country depends on each of us. I believe that together we will build a strong, smart and inspiring Mariupol and Ukraine. I wish you all optimism, health, happiness and peace.
Sincerely yours,
Vadim Boichenko
Mariupol Mayor
