Greetings to the Ukrainian Diaspora on Independence Day.



On behalf of the Ukrainian diplomats to the United Nations, I wholeheartedly congratulate you on the fourteenth anniversary of the great holiday of the people of Ukraine - Independence Day.

Ukraine is entering a new stage of its statehood at the height of dramatic internal political, economic and social changes that are being implemented by the people's President - Victor Yushchenko.

Today, Ukraine attracts special attention around the world. The triumph of the truth, people's will and democracy in our State has won respect and sympathy on all continents. The attitude towards Ukraine as a democratic and respected international player is being witnessed by us, the diplomats in the United Nations, as well as by our colleagues √ in exchanges with the European Union, NATO and World Trade Organization, and in relations with many countries of the world.

However, enhancing Ukraine's internal and external existence, resurrection of the national strength and spirit are inconceivable and impossible without the help and support of the Ukrainian hearts and minds residing beyond the borders of their Motherland.

Thus, in congratulating you on this most important state holiday, I would like to express my words of gratitude for your consistent attention to the work of Ukrainian diplomats in the UN, for your practical assistance and wise advice. I am confident that our fruitful and close cooperation will continue to successfully facilitate the achievement of our common goal - further consolidation of the Ukrainian state in the world.

I sincerely wish you and your families good health, happiness and well-being. May all of your plans and good intentions be realized. May confidence and faith in a better future be with you.

Happy Holiday!
Glory to Ukraine!

Ambassador,
Permanent Representative

I left Ukraine before the fall of CCCP. It's been 16 years since I left so I don't really know how it is over there now, especially in my birth place, Novovolinsk. Anyway, happy independence day.

Zi dnem nezalezhnosti, Ukrajina!

I don't like it over here in America. It feels alien to me even though I am now an American citizen. I'm planning to visit Ukraine when I finish up college over here.
