President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated the United States on Independence Day and emphasized that Ukraine greatly values U.S. support, especially during Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
According to Ukrinform, Zelensky stated this on Facebook.
“Today marks the 250th anniversary of one of humanity’s brightest, strongest, and most influential dreams – the American Dream of an independent, free, and prosperous nation that defends people’s freedom, faith, and the pursuit of happiness,” Zelensky noted.
According to him, this dream has gone through many trials and not only endured, but for two and a half centuries has served as an example for other nations and helped all humanity to endure and become freer. This was especially important in the 20th century, when America helped save the world from tyrants and formed alliances and partnerships that, for the first time, gave a significant part of humanity lasting peace and the opportunity for free development.
“Now, in the 21st century, America’s influence and importance are certainly no less. And we see that particularly clearly in Ukraine, which is fighting for its independence, freedom, and our people’s right to happiness with much the same hope, the same purpose, and the same determination with which Americans won and defended their own independence,” Zelensky stressed.
He emphasized that Ukraine greatly values the support of the United States, especially now, during Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
“American weapons – from the Javelins that President Trump decided to give to Ukraine to the Patriots that most reliably protect the lives of our people – everything the United States has provided to help us defend our country demonstrates the strength of the American spirit, American resolve, and American technology.
And we know the value of all these words better than anyone. When we ask America for Patriots, we believe that the values of respect for life and for people that prevailed 250 years ago will prevail again today. The world needs the kind of leadership that guarantees protection for freedom and for life,” Zelensky said.
He wished the United States a happy July 4, the President of America and all Americans only success, and everyone in the world who values America fruitful cooperation.
“‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.’ That is what unites all of us – all who respect America and thank America today. May the dreams of free people always triumph over the evil and hatred of those who seek to destroy freedom. America, thank you! I am confident that if we’re in it together, we’ll definitely achieve peace! Congratulations on your Independence Day!” Zelensky stressed in his greeting.
As reported, Independence Day of the United States is celebrated annually on July 4.
