Today we mark another anniversary of Ukraine’s independence. In recent years, this holiday has taken on a special significance, because for the third year in a row it has been celebrated during a full-scale russian invasion. Ukraine continues its struggle, resistance and does everything to protect itself.
I sincerely thank our victorious defenders who show their strength, courage, endurance, bravery and heroically fight for our independence, freedom and statehood. They do everything to ensure that, even in the most difficult moments, Ukraine preserves national dignity, unity and has a free and happy future, and the blue and yellow flag flies in all corners of our country, in all Ukrainian cities and villages.
In times of horrific calamity, the entire democratic world admires the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people and their will for victory. Unfortunately, we pay too high a price for the opportunity to live freely – with the blood of our defenders and the tears of our women, mothers. It is tragic that many Ukrainians lost their loved ones due to the war. But I’m sure that everyone’s efforts in bringing about a just and lasting peace will be rewarded.
FC Dynamo Kyiv players always proudly and honorably step out onto the field under the blue-yellow flag and represent our beautiful country. This is especially important in international matches, when we can draw the attention of all of Europe and the world to terrible events that are happening in Ukraine. And we continue to do our best and make maximum efforts to bring our common Victory closer.
Ukraine will definitely win, prosper and have a happy destiny. Goodness, peace and love will once again reign in our native land, and joy and pride for our state will return to our hearts.
We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we help each other and fight till Victory! Glory to Ukraine and Ukrainians!
FC Dynamo Kyiv president
