Dear Ukrainians!

The Organic Law of our State - the Constitution of Ukraine - was approved 24 years ago. Since then, it has at various times been the battlefield for political frays as well as the point of unity.

But the Constitution is our daily reminder of what must remain unchanged in Ukraine: human life as the highest value, freedom and democracy, national unity and the rule of law.

Constitution is the best marker of a country's democracy. History proves that our freedom-loving people have always sought to live in a sovereign and law-based country, because it was in Ukraine in 1710 that the first-ever Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk - Pacts and Constitutions of Rights and Freedoms of the Zaporizhian Host - was executed and approved.

Today, our State is in need of rapid and revolutionary changes in the whole area of life.  But our main task is to implement, protect, adhere to and disallow anyone to violate the Organic Law of Ukraine.

The Constitution is the real foundation of the independent country, the guarantor of the rights and freedoms of its citizens, the basic rules of life and functioning of the State, and the confirmation of Ukraine's independence.

Happy Constitution Day!
