Special words of thanks were expressed by the president to those who have the courage to learn and preserve the language in temporarily occupied territories, as well as to the military.

“And, of course, to all those brave Ukrainian hearts who are loyal to Ukraine and teach Ukrainian even in temporarily occupied territories. To every one of our warriors - because where there are Ukrainian positions, there continues the fight for the life of Ukraine, our people, our culture,” he emphasized.

A reminder of the importance of the Ukrainian language

Zelensky also emphasized the unbreakable connection between national identity and courage: “Let us remember that being Ukrainian is to be brave. There are many nations in the world, but only the brave were able to defend their independence. Ukrainians are just like that. Glory to Ukraine!”.
