Greetings on the thirty-fifth Independence Day of Ukraine

Dear university community, dear partners, and friends!

We sincerely congratulate you on the Independence Day of Ukraine!

This holiday is a symbol of our unwavering unity, strength of spirit, and centuries-old longing for freedom. For 35 years, our country has confidently asserted itself as a free and sovereign state, and every day of this journey – especially today – is filled with immense courage, self-sacrifice, and resilience.

Throughout all this time, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has stood in defence of national interests. Today, our courageous students, alumni, and faculty members fight for independence directly within the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Meanwhile, on the home front, our university scientists and engineers work tirelessly to create innovative defence technologies, develop solutions for the rehabilitation of the wounded, and prepare projects for the large-scale reconstruction of the country.

Our university remains a reliable fortress of knowledge, patriotism, and national identity. We continue to educate a generation of leaders destined to rebuild and modernize the future of Ukraine.

With deepest respect, we bow our heads to the heroic deeds of all defenders. We thank everyone who holds the line on the front line and in the rear.

May this day strengthen our faith in Victory, and bring us the power and inspiration for new achievements for the sake of our Motherland!

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!
