Dear compatriots,

On behalf of the Government and personally I sincerely congratulate you on the Day of Independence of Ukraine!

The state independence opened unique opportunities for economic growth, spiritual development and cultural development of our country.

For years of independence there has grown up a generation for whom the words 'freedom', 'the right of choice', 'democratic values' - not just legal terms, but a way of life. Our state grows, opens for itself new opportunities and outlooks.

The key to the success of state building is in a social harmony, creative joining of efforts of millions citizens of free and independent Ukraine.

Let a source of your faith, hope and love for the native land, energy and self-confidence will not be exhausted.

I wish you prosperity, happiness and goodness in every family!

Yours Sincerely

Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov
