Ukrainian Statehood Day is a reminder that the Ukrainian state has deep historical roots. Its history did not begin with the declaration of independence in 1991—it has been shaped over centuries, from Kyivan Rus through different eras, challenges, and the enduring struggle for the right to determine our own future.
Ukrainian statehood is built on shared values, culture, language, responsibility, historical memory, and the people who, throughout generations, have defended Ukraine’s right to follow its own path.
Every region has contributed to this greater story. The Zaporizhzhia region is one of the places where the connection between generations, the respect for freedom, and the responsibility for the country’s future are especially strong. It is through these stories, these cities, and these people that Ukraine is made.
Today, Ukrainian Statehood Day carries even greater meaning, because we are not only remembering our past.
Every day, we shape the future of our country by defending its independence, supporting one another, and preserving the values that make us who we are.
Ukrainian statehood is a story that continues.
Each of us is part of that story.
