Dear Nadia!
Millions of Ukrainians support you, our Ukrainian heroine. And this is not an exaggeration.
Thanks to your courage, bravery and patriotism you have become a symbol of heroism of Ukrainians who are now protecting our land from aggressors.
It is the first time in the modern history that Ukraine is facing such serious challenges and threats – the direct military aggression of the Russian Federation, which has annexed a part of Ukrainian territory and is still conducting a hybrid war.
This is a new type of war when apart from military weapons, informational and ideological ones are used as well.
Your captivity, abduction and transportation to the Russian Federation, which grossly violates all international norms, shows that our enemies have no rules or norms in this hybrid war. Russians acts with cynicism, infamy and vileness.
However, Ukrainians have managed to show totally different qualities: determination to protect native country, courage and unprecedented heroism – the embodiment of which is you.
Ukrainians proudly observe how one brave woman can withstand totalitarian Russia. This gives everyone faith and belief that people who have such heroes and heroines as you can not be conquered.
You are one of the symbols of the victory of Ukraine, of the victory of our spirit.
In this war Ukrainians have shown the whole world their best qualities. Kilometer by kilometer our army is clearing our land from the mercenaries, terrorists and criminals whose actions pose a threat to the whole world – a tragedy with Malaysian airliner is the evidence of this. However, we, Ukrainians, have to face this evil by ourselves.
I know that our people are ready to protect their land. We have no doubts that we can withstand any armies and the victory will be ours.
I want to stress that we are doing everything possible to bring you back to Ukraine and to punish those guilty of crimes against you. This is one of priority tasks of Ukraine.
I am sure that this will be done soon, as God and the truth are with us!
Respectfully,
Oleksandr TURCHYNOV
