"Today we celebrate Constitution Day of Ukraine – our state, our people. The first word of its first article is "Ukraine". And this reflects our main goal, our task: Ukraine is and will be on earth, Ukrainians are and will be on earth. And this is at the same time our goal and common duty," Zelenskyy emphasized.
It is noted that the solemn events took place in Kyiv, on Sofiiska Square.
Our warriors, our volunteers, medics, teachers, artists, our athletes, millions of Ukrainian citizens – all these are people whose spirit and resilience meet the challenges of the time. People whom the war deprived of sleep, of rest. The war changed their lives, restricted their rights, but they do more than the limits of constitutional duties. More. They do not do it because of legal requirements, but because of the call of the heart

His son was killed by Russians during the occupation, but the man did not break and continues to dedicate his life to hundreds of other children
In addition, the head of state presented the Order of Freedom to the President of Poland Andrzej Duda.
In the first month of the war, we were in constant contact every day, every night, 24/7. When Poles helped many of our Ukrainians, when you and I worked, when we opened the first hub in Rzeszów – I remember it very well – from where such important weapons were then delivered – such an important salvation, such important assistance for our army, for all our people. To stand firm, not to fall, to live. And to be able to stand here today
