Therefore, together with you, without listening to the old politicians, we must continue the difficult construction every day. of a truly new, free and dignified Ukraine. Where the law will always come first, no surnames or past merits, “said the president.

According to him, in this new Ukraine, three years after the historical milestone, there will be a museum, “not a temporary construction”, and all the positive changes written on the posters of the Dignity Revolution will come true.

“Where dignity, freedom, decency and honesty will not be temporary constructions, but unshakable values,” Zelensky said.
