Congratulations on the Constitution Day of Ukraine!

In 1996, Ukrainian citizens received the Basic Law, which guaranteed them rights and freedoms, brought Ukraine closer to countries with developed democracies, and finally consolidated the independence of the new European state. So let us together form a free, just, solidary society, a powerful and prosperous state built on the foundations of European democracy.
