Today we honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

A tragedy that should not and cannot happen again.

A crime against humanity that should and must remind the world of what the fierce hatred of dictators and tyrants can lead to.

A story that should have served as a warning to all nations of the world for centuries.

We remember the millions of innocent Jews who were murdered and at the same time witness new crimes. In the center of Europe, we see a new manifestation of hatred, intolerance, and denial of the existence of another nation, the Ukrainian nation.

But truth and justice always triumph over tyranny and aggression! And we will choose our truth and freedom, thanks to our history, thanks to the strength of our soldiers and the eternity of our people.
