Dear friends, dear members of Ukraine’s cooperative community!
The Presidency of the Ukrainian Central Union of Consumer Societies and the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Consumer Cooperative Enterprise Workers of Ukraine warmly greet you on the bright and sacred occasion of Easter!
This is the fourth year we celebrate Easter amid the hardships of war. For four years, our nation has stood in defense of freedom, dignity, and the right to live in peace and happiness. Despite the pain and loss, we remain unbreakable in spirit, steadfast in our belief in victory, and united in purpose. Now more than ever, we feel a deep, shared responsibility for the future of our country.
Today, each of us draws on immense inner strength to endure the tragedies of war. And that strength lies in our faith. The celebration of Christ’s Resurrection is a powerful symbol of life. It is a day when we feel especially close to God’s protection and find hope in the belief that good will triumph over evil, and that peace, earned through the heroism of our soldiers, every Ukrainian who brings victory closer through their work, charity, and the help to the army, is drawing near.
Ukraine’s cooperative family has always been a model of unity, solidarity, and noble deeds. Today, we continue to support each other, hold the line, both economically and socially, help communities, the military, and all those in greatest need.
May the light of Easter fill your homes with warmth, love, hope, and unwavering faith in a peaceful future.
We wish you God’s protection, good health, peace, spiritual strength, and new achievements for the benefit of our common cause and independent Ukraine.
Christ has risen! He is risen indeed!
Chairman of the Council of Ukrkoopspilka Illia GOROKHOVSKYI
Chairman of the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Workers of Consumer Cooperation of Ukraine
