Eternal Sunshine for the Young Generation!
Address of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine!
Dear Fellow Citizens!
Please accept my sincere greetings on the occasion of the International Children´s Day.
All of us have had different childhood, although it taught us how to be good people, developed our characters and shaped our attitude towards the future generation. First of all, we should be shaped as individuals, achieve success in professional and everyday life, upon which we shall meet our obligations before young generations as parents, citizens, officials and good, conscious and honest people. We shall always report to our nation and consciousness.
It is often declared that children are our future. Let us treat this deliberately simplified truth as a call for permanent reflection and efforts towards its realization. It should be kept in mind that aspirations, strivings and creative force of the present times are inspired by children. Children symbolize the uniting force of generations. It is in the attitude towards children that the actual state and prospects of the society are reflected. I would like to express special gratitude to those who are currently following this important and noble pursuit. I believe that the number of happy children will grow every day. Modern young generation will eventually consolidate Ukraine as a powerful democratic European state.
I wish you peace, well-being and all the best!
Volodymyr LYTVYN
