The corresponding congratulation of the mayor of Kharkov is published on his page in social network:.

I cordially congratulate you on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Kharkov from Nazism in World War II.

Kharkov paid a terrible price for the victory: the city was almost completely destroyed, only one in five Kharkov residents remained alive. The participants in the fighting, the partisan movement, the workers of the rear, the children of the war - today we honor everyone who lived through those terrible years and fought for our lives. Accept from all of us a low bow, eternal memory and glory to each hero-liberator These August days for veterans are an opportunity to meet, precious moments of joy and memory.

And I wish all Kharkiv residents and guests of the city to interestingly and emotionally spend all the upcoming holidays - Liberation Day, City Day and Independence Day of Ukraine. It's a good time to feel like a family, a huge group, to take part in memorable and patriotic events, to take a walk in Kharkov. I wish all of us well-being, health and prosperity, a peaceful sky above our heads, opportunities for development and creation.

Congratulations, dear Kharkiv citizens! !!.

Kharkov is the best city on earth!.

See you in the evening at Strelka - there and celebrate the day of the city! !!.
