Dear Ukrainians!
I heartily congratulate you on the National Day of Ukrainian flag.
On July 24, 1990 the blue and yellow flag was hoisted over the Kyiv mayor’s office for the first time in the new independent state. It is known that the National Flag Day used to be celebrated only in Kyiv at the municipal level. But today the celebration to commemorate the national shrine is celebrated throughout Ukraine.
One of the most important elements of the process of the state formation in any country is the determination of national symbols as an integral sign of independence. Every nation, honoring its history, honors its shrines. Without a doubt, the state blue and yellow flag is one of the most important shrines of the nation.
I wish all Ukrainians good health, belief in a better future for all Ukraine and all its citizens in particular.
People’s Deputy of Ukraine, Mykola Katerynchuk
