Ukraine is a sovereign state.

Our borders are inviolable. Our borders cannot be changed.

We have the right to our Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the only source of state power is the people of Ukraine.

These are the foundations laid 32 years ago in the Declaration on State Sovereignty of Ukraine.

And these are the foundations that Ukrainian men and women are currently defending on the battlefield.

These are the fundamental principles that distinguish us from the metropolis. From an empire that feels phantom pains due to the loss of Ukraine and cannot accept that we are free, independent, democratic and sovereign.

However, Ukrainians together with the Armed Forces of Ukraine are capable of protecting their country!

And they protect. Because for us, values ??exist not only on paper. They are in our hearts!
