President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the American people on the occasion of Remembrance Day.

This is stated on the website of the President's Office on May 29.

"On behalf of all Ukrainians, I would like to honor the courage and sacrifice of all Americans who stood up for and continue to defend freedom. Your freedom survived because of those who fought for it. Our freedom will survive because of those who fight for it. Freedom is based on the bravery of the best of its kind and on the willingness of the young men and women who serve their people in the military to become the best of their kind and make their bravery the foundation for the future of their nation," he said.

According to Zelensky, when we remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom, we remember the reason why we are alive, why we live as we like, and why our free nations stand.

"Our duty is to teach children that freedom cannot be taken for granted. It is our duty to teach them to be grateful. Our duty is to honor everyone who gave their lives defending freedom, the noble and free flag of their country and people. It is our duty to remember the price paid to preserve the light of freedom, despite all the dark times that have come," the president said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy added that Ukrainians would always be grateful to the United States and every American for the extraordinary support "that helps us reduce Russian tyranny to those who lost the struggle for freedom."

"My special thanks on this Day of Remembrance to all Americans of different times – sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters who have become warriors, whose strength has become the power of freedom and who are destined to show the world that freedom will always shine brightly on a hill. May our victory, the victory of Ukrainian soldiers, make this light brighter," he concluded.
