Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on a successful performance at XI Winter Paralympic Games.
With great pleasure I want to state that the national team of Ukraine has gained 5 gold, 9 silver and 11 bronze medals.
This year’s games were held under extremely tense circumstances when the Ukrainian people is fighting for its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
Your
patriotic deeds aroused the highest assessment, as well as support of the world’s
peaceful community, of the whole Ukrainian community.
Your sport fighting and victories have demonstrated the world fortitude and courage of Ukrainian sportsmen, the true patriots of their country.
Ukraine is proud of you.
I hope that national Paralympic sport will further develop due to our talented athletes, their persistence, boundless will to victory and selfless work of experts and coaches.
I wish you sound health, happiness and new sports achievements.
Oleksandr TURCHYNOV
