Dear Ukrainians!
Let me congratulate you on the occasion of the New Year and Christmas!
Traditionally, when summarizing, we say that this year was not a simple one.
For our country 2013 was a very important year, the year of complicated decisions. There were difficulties and lots of issues are still to be addressed.
We grasped what a dear-bought and highly appreciated thing is the dignity of the country and how important it is to advocate the interests of the state.
All social events were directly reflected on the life of the Ukrainian Parliament.
I am convinced that the 2014 will be the period of consolidation and a well-coordinated work of all political forces in the Verkhovna Rada.
That is why all politicians should be united by the single goal – advocation and protection of the interests of our citizens.
The New Year is a symbol of well-being and hope.
On this holiday night each of us recollects the past, thinks of the future and hopes for the best.
I wish that in 2014 miracles happened in the lives of our citizens and fortune always accompanied all their actions.
I wish all Ukrainians sound health and well-being, as well as new achievements and prosperity to our country! Happy holidays!
With respect,
the First Deputy Chairman
of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
Ihor Kalyetnik
