"Ukrainians continue to fight for preserving their sovereignty, identity and way of life. This struggle goes beyond a simple territorial dispute: it embodies the deep aspiration of Ukrainians for freedom, democracy and the fundamental right of human dignity. And we, as the global Ukrainian diaspora, are here to support them," Andriy Potichnyi, director of the Unite with Ukraine initiative from the Ukrainian World Congress said.
At the same time, the head of the MID, Kyrylo Budanov, expressed gratitude to the Ukrainian World Congress and every citizen of Ukraine who continues to strengthen military intelligence officers and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in general. According to him, this support is significant and systemic.
