To the lawyers of Ukraine
Dear friends!
I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday – the Lawyers’ Day!
Severe challenges that put at hazard the very existence of independent, democratic and legal state have fallen to Ukraine’s lot. Thus, it is hard to overestimate the important role of national lawyers’ community, which primarily lies in firm and competent protection of the principles of statehood and sovereignty and in guarding the interests of each Ukrainian.
I am convinced that the compelling stand of every Ukrainian lawyer, as a patriot and a citizen, will secure a decent place for our country under the peaceful sky of a free Europe.
I wish you happiness, sound health and professional success in implementing responsible tasks in the name of Ukraine!
Oleksandr TURCHYNOV
