WHAT DOES IT MEAN “TO BE UKRAINIAN?

“To be Ukrainian”- what does it mean? One can answer this question
easily because we are predictable nation, open - hearted and friendly,
generous and hospitable, hard - working and dedicated to our family and
our profession. Everything we do we do with all might, with all our best.
Ukraine has a long and renowned history; we can talk about it endlessly
giving vivid examples of its glory and prosperity. This time as usual we
try to pay much attention to the history of Ukraine, its problems and
solutions, people and traditions, holidays and customs. Special attention
is paid now to our famous Ukrainians who brought the fame and glory to
our country. To be Ukrainian sounds great now. We are happy to see our
national flags everywhere during holiday celebrations and special
ceremonies, people pressing their hands to hearts singing our national
anthem we experience feelings of pride and love for our country. In
addition, we want our Ukraine to flourish and blossom. Let us cherish
such moments and jointly look for the ways of making our Motherland
more powerful and prosperous. The most powerful thing you can do to
change the world, is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life,
people, reality.
Be always positive and optimistic!
