People unite because they have some common features. However, according to Mr. Umerov, only unification for the sake of positive development, justice and peace, and protection of common values can be truly long-term.
In Ukrainian history, there are many examples of how unity helped to achieve the highest goal.
“Last year, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Act of reunification of Ukrainian People’s Republic and West Ukrainian People’s Republic. Then Ukrainians proved to the whole world that unity can get a specific political and legal form – the united Ukrainian state. A terrible price had to be paid for that, as the soviet regime saw the unity of Ukrainians as a threat to its own existence. We went through the Holodomor and repressions, but we won. We restored our own statehood and created a political nation. The Ukrainian national flag is now proudly hoisted all over the world,” the speaker said.
And now, we again need unity of all citizens of Ukraine in order to defeat the enemy. Truth has nothing that divides. Truth has something that unites us.
