Message from PtD K. Sakellaropoulou to her Ukrainian counterpart, V. Zelensky, on the anniversary of Ukrainian independence

The President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine, sent her Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, a video message.

More specifically, the head of state notes:

“Dear Ukrainian friends,

Today’s 31st anniversary of your independence, instead of finding you celebrating, is sadly marked by your six-month struggle against the barbaric and unjust Russian invasion.

At the same time, your resistance and your belief in freedom are for the whole world an excellent example of the struggle against authoritarianism and expansionism. From this perspective, August 24 has a special symbolism this year.

From the very first moment, Greece, together with the rest of the European states, expressed its unreserved solidarity with Ukraine and supported your struggle to choose your own destiny within the European family.

Dear friends,

Our countries are linked by close ties of friendship and share the same values. In that spirit, I look forward to our continued close cooperation and wish you a speedy recovery from this tragedy.”
