To the Academic Community of Ukraine
I sincerely greet you with the Day of Science the holiday of those who chose this difficult path in life. This holiday has also a national dimension, which corresponds to the social significance of science.
Hardly can one name another type of human activity that penetrates all spheres of our life so much, bearing a long-lasting impact on them. It determines the future and historical outlooks of the nation.
Despite the hardships, Ukrainian scholars want to be at their best, following the founders and coryphee of national science. I am convinced that inspiration and willingness to advance will enrich the rightful glory of Ukraine in Europe and in the world.
I wish you energy, inspiration and belief in the inexhaustible capacities of science and state.
