This year we have anchored ourselves on the path to the European Union full-fledged membership by receiving EU candidate status and increasing the pace of European transformations even amid the full-scale military invasion of our territory by the Russian Federation that lasts for the last 6 months.

We are grateful to our partners and friends who introduced devastating sanctions against Russia, provided the Ukrainian people with decisive military, humanitarian and financial support and shared their homes with those Ukrainians, whom the war forced temporarily to flee.

We urge all states and organizations to support the establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. Together, we should ensure that the Putin regime loses all its influence in the world and its ability to wage brutal wars against sovereign states.

We believe that with this wide and dedicated international support, Ukraine will celebrate the next Independence Day in peace and within its internationally recognized borders.
