Petro Poroshenko

“ For the most valuable thing is not money, factories or companies, but "human capital" of Ukraine.
I have no doubt that we will overcome all difficulties, defend the territorial integrity of our country and provide peace and tranquility.
Nobody will turn us into slaves of criminals and bureaucracy, servants of the colonial power.
The whole world supports us. Over the past three days I was able to verify that.
The whole Ukraine and all Ukrainians worldwide united around the idea of independence, freedom, dignity, rule of law, European integration. ”

“ Ukraine is diverse, but it is strong and single in spirit!
Striving for peace and unity of our state prevails in all regions of Ukraine.
I am deeply impressed with patriotism of citizens in southern and eastern regions, from Odesa to Kharkiv.
Peace has not come yet, but today we can confidently say that hard challenges united Ukrainian family.
They strengthened us as Ukrainian political nation which is confident in its European choice.
Our people has never been so strong.
But freedom is not given once and forever. One must always struggle for it. ”

“ Victorious Revolution of dignity has not only changed the government.
The country has changed. People have changed.
The time of inevitable positive changes has come.
To implement them, we need first of all peace, security and unity.
A real war, planned and unleashed in the Ukrainian Donbas, became an obstacle for enormous opportunities that opened for the European modernization of Ukraine after the fall of tyranny.
Until now, many people thought that we got independence without any difficulty.
It is not true! Entire generations of Ukrainian patriots struggled for our independence. ”
