Ukraine's Consul General sends greeting to readers of The Weekly

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Consulate General of Ukraine in New York, I have the honor to convey our sincere congratulations to all citizens of Ukraine, residing in the USA, to all members of the Ukrainian-American community, to members of the editorial board and all readers of The Ukrainian Weekly on the occasion of the Independence Day of Ukraine, which we mark every year on August 24.

The independence and freedom of our Motherland were gained by the great price. Let us not forget all generations and millions of our fellow countrymen and women, who had sacrificed their lives to make this independence become a reality.

We are celebrating the eighth anniversary of our Independence in a difficult period of economic hardships in Ukraine. This situation, however, should not, in any way, discourage us and diminish our belief in the better future of Ukraine and its people. Let us unite our efforts in helping to promote further prosperity and well-being to Ukraine and its people!

With best wishes of success and happiness to all readers of your newspaper.

Yuriy Bohaievsky
Consul General of Ukraine in New York
