To Ukrainian journalists
Dear friends,
I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday! Your work is very important. These are you to form the world view of the society.
I'd like to mention that the role of journalists during Orange revolution in 2004 and Revolution of Dignity in 2014 was extremely remarkable. Thanks to your assistance and support, the Ukrainians managed to protect dignity of the nation. A professional and objective journalist is the locomotive of changes and progress in the country.
Today, in conditions of military aggression your word is gaining greater significance. The citizens must know what is happening in all corners of our country, what the situation in Crimea and Donbas is, know the reforms being introduced in the country and what foreign countries think of Ukraine.
I wish you and your families health and inspiration. Do appreciate the trust of the people you work for. Ukraine is the most important for all of us. We all work in favor of Ukraine's happy present and prosperous future.
My congratulations!
Volodymyr GROYSMAN
