Ukraine National Day

On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Ukraine on their Independence Day. Despite Russia's ongoing war of aggression, your courage remains unwavering. Today marks not only a celebration of your history and progress, but also a solemn reminder of the sacrifices you are making every day in defense of your country.

The United States is committed to providing long-term security and economic support for Ukraine's continued fight against Russian aggression and for its recovery and reform efforts. As we reflect on Ukraine's journey over the past three decades, we celebrate your achievements in advancing democratic values, combating corruption, and fostering economic growth. Your continued dedication to these reforms is pivotal to facilitate Ukraine's irreversible integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions.

The United States stands ready to deepen our partnership with Ukraine. Our partnership is rooted in the common commitment to justice and democratic values. We will continue our support to you as you defend against Russia's aggression, and together we will uphold the UN Charter principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity and secure a brighter future for all Ukrainians.

On this Independence Day, may the people of Ukraine find strength in your determination and thriving culture. America stands with you today and always.
