Dear residents of the Siverskodonetsk urban territorial community, Luhansk region and all of Ukraine!

We sincerely congratulate you on the greatest national holiday - Independence Day of Ukraine!

Today we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the restoration of our statehood, which is based on the thousand-year-old heritage of the Ukrainian people, but today is being fought in the fires of the most brutal war.

We are fighting not only for territory, but also for the very existence of our people.

We all know very well what a high price Ukraine pays for the right to simply be. For each of us who was forced to leave our homes in Siverskodonetsk and Luhansk regions, the word "independence" has become personal. This is our common home, to which we will definitely return.

Our people are strong and invincible — over the centuries, no invader has been able to destroy our language, culture, history, and desire to be free.

A bright memory to all the fallen Defenders of Ukraine. Sincere condolences to their families and loved ones. We always remember and honor our Heroes.

A low bow to the Defense Forces of Ukraine and to all who defend our Independence every day! Gratitude to everyone who helps our soldiers. Let's stick together and get what's ours back!

Glory to Ukraine!

Glory to the heroes!
