this is exactly what happened after february 24 in ukraine, against the invasion of our state and efforts. the entire ukrainian people set out to destroy it, millions of ukrainian eyes, which reacted not with fear, but with determination, millions of our ukrainian hearts, which did not freeze and fought, and millions of ukrainian characters are fighting, which will never submit to someone else from... will always find a way to return what is ours, that is exactly what we are doing, we are doing everything to step by step return what is ours and expel the occupier, and we must always remember at what

cost ukraine defends its life. dear attendees, i would like to take a moment now silent memory to all our heroes, all ukrainians, all ukrainian women, all our heroes of different times who fought for our independence and gave their lives so that ukraine could live.

polyanytsia drone missile. this is our new method of retaliating against the aggressor. the enemy was hit. i thank everyone who made this possible, all the developers, manufacturers and our warriors. i am proud of you and we know that... it will be very difficult for russia, it is difficult to even pronounce what exactly has arrived, it is difficult to counter it, but it is still very easy to understand why? dear ukrainian men, ukrainian women, dear friends of ukraine, thanks to the fact that ukraine survived this war, survived, is fighting, we all are. we know that europe may not to fall, no matter how much it was threatened,

no matter how much pressure was put on europe, no matter how it was beaten, our european history has already seen more than once how slavery spread across the continent when europeans, unfortunately, lacked unity. now , each of us can do everything to guarantee freedom. to everyone, the freedom of everyone in europe, and european unity is the basis of everyone's security on the continent, and this is how we preserve the european way of life, this is how we preserve our independence, and we must constantly do everything so that our independence, our life received sufficient protection. dear ukrainian men and women, on the eve... of our independence day of ukraine, i signed the laws from the defense

opportunity to meet you, it is a great honor for me to be in kyiv again today and to celebrate the independence day of ukraine together with the heroic. poland has been with you since the very beginning, the russian invasion. i was personally in kyiv together with the president of lithuania gitanas neuseda, the day before russian troops entered the territory of ukraine on february 23, 2022. we

have met with president zelensky many times, both during his visits to poland and mine to ukraine, as well as at international forums, but i consider it an exceptional honor to speak before you, the citizens of ukraine, on the day of the 33rd anniversary of independence here in kyiv.

please remember that you are not alone in this most difficult ordeal, poland supports and will continue to support your just struggle until its victory conclusion, because today you are fighting for freedom, and we poles, like no other nation in the world, know that...

i did not have and do not have the slightest doubt that united in their efforts and struggle , the courageous ukrainian people will defend their independence , and although today ukraine is fighting against the russian aggressor, fighting to the death, defending its independence, i am convinced that the war will end soon. territories, a new world will begin to be forged. today, few people remember this, but decades ago, when europe was rising from of the ruins and destruction caused by german and soviet totalitarianism, the process

of creating a community of continental states began. community based on the foundations of christianity, greek philosophy and roman law, it was in the 50s that the foundations of a new democratic order based on mutual respect and cooperation between european peoples, radically different from the russian peace, were laid in ukraine for many years seeks to become part of this political community. these aspirations are fully justified. in poland, we know very well that ukraine has been part of the european community for centuries.

let me remind here that the poles, as well. we remember that the territories of our countries were fertile ground for the development of democratic...

ukraine in dependence on tsarist russia. we also remember how in the 19th and 20th years of the last century, the polish army fought side by side with the ukrainian army against bolshevik russia, thanks to the union, thanks to the unionist and simon.

that is why i can proudly say that poland in 1991 was the first country in the world, which officially recognized. peoples living in the neighborhood for many centuries always carry a huge baggage of common historical experience, not only good, but also sometimes difficult.

we want to build a future based on truth and sincere reconciliation. fraternal nations are obliged to each other, because what unites us is stronger than what unites us is stronger than what divides us. strengthen them by all means. remember, it is crucial, and therefore we must , that poland will not stop helping you and not will leave ukraine alone on the way to the european community. the place of independent ukraine is in europe. with his determination. with your will to fight, and today, unfortunately, with your blood, you proved that you belong to the european family for a long time, poland will not

leave you in this struggle, ukraine is not dead yet, long live the free, sovereign, sovereign, independent ukraine, long live poland. the prime minister has the floor. of the republic of lithuania ingrid szymaniti. ukraine. it is a great honor and a great joy for me to be here with you on this day and celebrate and testify the independence of ukraine together with the free and inglorious people of ukraine. like the whole civilized world. i admire you and i am sincerely grateful to you. after all, by protecting your land and statehood, you protect all of us, my homeland, lithuania, europe and the entire
