To the veterans of the Great Patriotic War, citizens of Volyn Oblast
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on the occasion of the 70th liberation anniversary of Volyn Oblast from fascist invaders.
More than seven hundred years separate us from the terrible events of a bloody World War II. Unfortunately, today Ukrainians also have to defend their native land with weapons in their arms. Citizens of Volyn Oblast decently carry out this mission and establish independence of the Ukrainian State for the present-day generations and the generations to come.
By remembering the events that preceded liberation from occupation, as well as the heroes that gave their lives, protecting their native land, we bow low to the memory of the deceased. Heartfelt thanks and a bow low to all the veterans. The names of the heroes and their deed are never-to-be-forgotten!
Happy holiday, dear citizens of Volyn Oblast! Let us measure up to the heroes that granted us the present-day at the expense of their own life. By working consciously and loving our native land let us take care about it, about our children and each other.
I wish you sound health, long life, happiness, welfare and peaceful sky!
Oleksandr TURCHYNOV
