February 24, 2022 will forever remain a day of fear and uncertainty for many of us, as for all Ukrainians. Worried for our loved ones and confronted with the horror of war, we found strength through unity and solidarity to support the Ukrainian people.

Ukraine is not only a part of Europe — it has become its shield, defending fundamental human values now increasingly under threat.

These three years of war have come at a terrible cost: tens of thousands of lives lost, millions displaced, cities destroyed, families torn apart. And yet, Ukraine continues to fight for a free and peaceful future.

Today, Ukraine’s defenders, supported by their people and free democratic nations, are defending not only freedom, dignity, and independence in Ukraine, but the future of Europe itself. This struggle is about freedom, human rights, and sovereignty.

We express our deepest gratitude to everyone supporting Ukraine and helping us in this fight.

In the face of the Russian dictatorship, which threatens the entire free world, we must stand together. Good must prevail over evil. We believe in Victory, and in a future of just and lasting peace for Ukraine and for Europe.
