To veterans of the Great Patriotic War,
citizens of Cherkasy
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on the 70th liberation anniversary of Cherkasy from fascist invaders.
The feast day of cleansing native land from brown plague will always be an unforgettable event. Happiness and sorrow, pain and hope will remind us of the feat of arms of soldiers-liberators of the city.
A lot of years have passed but this heroic page of our history is an inexhaustible source of patriotism and emulation for future generations. We bow low to those who have lived through war, hunger and havoc but have not broken down, have not lost their faith, instead have shown an example of selfless service to their small motherland changing every day for better with their hard work.
I wish you, dear veterans, good health, great mood, family comfort and warmth, welfare and happiness.
I wish you peace, sun and prosperity!
Volodymyr RYBAK
