Dear members of consumer societies, employees and veterans of consumer cooperation of Ukraine!
The Presidency of the Ukrainian Central Union of Consumer Societies and the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Consumer Cooperation of Ukraine sincerely congratulate you on Independence Day!
Independence Day is the birthday of our country, the starting point of national statehood. This significant day has become a turning point in the history of the Ukrainian state. Undoubtedly, the years of independence have been a test for all of us – for maturity, patience, tolerance.
Our country has undergone many trials, political and economic changes, and experienced ups and downs. However, no adversity has divided Ukrainians, shaken their faith or broken their spirit.
Today, our state and its citizens are facing new challenges and trials dictated by the unprovoked military aggression of a neighboring country. We once again have to fight for the legitimate right to live on our own land, speak our native language, have our own statehood and live in a country of freedom at the cost of thousands of military and civilian lives.
On this holiday, we would like to thank all cooperators for your contribution and efforts, for working to support and develop the state. We write the history of Ukraine with our actions, and our heroes fight for independence every minute, which is the highest value for us.
Ordinary Ukrainians have become warriors and are fighting for every inch of our land. They are making extraordinary efforts to defend the right of each of us to live in an independent democratic state under its own laws and rules. Therefore, special thanks to the soldiers who are defending and protecting our borders today. Eternal honor and memory to all those who have remained in the ranks forever.
We sincerely wish you all to love your country, honor and cherish our history, and remember the price of our Independence.
Dear colleagues, we wish you peace and prosperity in our common home, confidence in the future!
May the Ukrainian flag fly in every corner of our peaceful and free country!
Glory to Ukraine!
Illia Gorokhovskyi
Chairman of the Council of the Ukrainian Central Union of Consumer Societies
