"A thousand years of courage, of the desire to live in freedom, to live as a sovereign and independent nation, to follow only our own path, and to be who we are – to be Ukraine, to be Ukrainians." - Address on Ukrainian Statehood Day 2026
Constitution Day 2026: "Ukraine, which respects itself, values its people and defends what is its own - its own right to be Ukrainian. Where no one will dictate how we should live, how we should speak, whom we should love, whom we should be grateful to, or which heroes we should honor."
