First Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksandr Korniyenko on the occasion of Ukrainian Statehood Day:

On July 28, we celebrate the Day of Ukrainian Statehood for the first time.

russia has been "greeting" us with missile strikes since 4 in the morning... as a bad neighbor, as a terrorist state.

But now, after eight years of war in Donbas, on the sixth month of a full-scale invasion, the Day of Ukrainian Statehood is an occasion not only to be proud of the present, but also to remember the thousand-year history and important stages of the formation of our identity, culture, military affairs and Ukrainian character.
