Dear compatriots,

Our land has always gave birth to remarkable people, who fought for its freedom at the expense of their lives. The same happened two years ago. The "regime" did not confine itself to political pressure, blackmail, threats, persecution of opponents and activists, physical tortures. It unleashed a real massacre by killing the rally participants right in the center of a European capital.

We have to commemorate the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred not only during these days of grief. In their memory we have to work hard every day for the sake of the European future of our state.

I condole with all near and dear of the killed those tragic days. I acknowledge that no words can ever relieve the pain of the loss.

Eternal glory to the Heroes!

Volodymyr GROYSMAN
