To the veterans of the Great Patriotic War,
citizens of Voznesensk city of Mykolaiv Oblast
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on the 70th anniversary of liberating Voznesensk from fascist invaders.
On this memorable day we bow low to bright memory of brave soldiers of the 3rd Ukrainian front who defended their native Mykolaiv region, who defended honour, dignity and independence of the Homeland. Their names are forever written with golden letters in a heroic chronicle of the war with the enemy.
Dear veterans, may your courage and defiance of your spirit be an example for future generations, may they inspire us for preserving peace in Ukraine and in the whole world. Today as never before we understand what price should be paid for peaceful sky and tranquility on our free land.
With all my heart I wish citizens of Voznesensk good health, longevity, welfare and prosperity!
Oleksandr Turchynov
