"The Constitution provides not only for rights and freedoms, but also imposes duties on every citizen of Ukraine!" - Syrsky said in a Telegram message congratulating Ukraine on Constitution Day.
He reminded that Article 65 of the Constitution of Ukraine stipulates that it is the duty of Ukrainian citizens to protect the Motherland, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and to honor its state symbols. "This article of the Constitution of Ukraine is particularly symbolic and important now, in the time of full-scale Russian aggression," noted the Chief of Staff.
"While honoring our rights, we must not forget our responsibilities. No one but us will protect Ukraine! Therefore, I urge all citizens to join the ranks of the Defense Forces! I believe we will win! Our strength is in unity! Happy Constitution Day of Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!" wrote Syrsky.
