President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, on the day of remembrance of those killed on Maidan Nezalezhnosti during the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, said that the Maidan slogan “Slaves are not allowed into paradise” is the meaning of the Ukrainian interpretation of freedom and the main reason why our people are ready to fight until complete victory.

“Ukrainians know what it is to fight and defend their own freedom. In the squares. On the barricades. On the front line. In difficult and defining moments of history, we never give up and always show courage and selflessness.. Ukrainians become brothers, and everyone who is Ukrainian is a brother. This is the basis of our unity. Unity, which gives the future to our state and people. Unity that gives us invincibility. And this is the basis of our connection with the world, with everyone who values \u200b\u200bfreedom and who is ready to defend it,” Zelensky said..

He recalled that today Ukrainians honor the heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine and Ukrainians during the Revolution of Dignity. Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred - these were people of all ages and professions from different regions, but of the same and true values.

“Defending Ukraine now, we remember that our power and fortitude are based on the strength and strength of many Ukrainians who did not give up, dreamed and acted for Ukraine to live. Nine years after the Revolution of Dignity, the battle for our independence continues. For an independent, free and strong Ukraine, European and democratic, independent and integral. And there is no doubt that we will protect all this, that we will realize the dream of Ukrainian heroes,” the President said..
