Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Thousands of Ukrainians wrote the National Unity Radio Dictation today. People from all corners of Ukraine, of different ages, with entirely different professions and views. And all of this together is much more than a flash mob or a campaign. It is really about a very important ability of our language. Ukrainian brings people together. No matter how hard the enemy tries to erase this language, it is alive, it is strong, and it is thriving. It brings our people together, just as it did in the past and continues to do today. And we must do everything to make sure it stays that way in the future. Today, the Ukrainian language is much more than a means of communication. It is the language of courage, the language of dignity, the language of the fight for life that Ukrainians wage every day. I thank everyone who protects and preserves what is Ukrainian – within themselves, in their children, and in our shared future! Happy Ukrainian Writing and Language Day!
