Take sincere congratulations on the occasion of Eid al-Adha - the feast, which Muslims regard as a symbol of mercy, charity and love for neighbors.

Today we are defending the independence and territorial integrity of our country, we are actively developing European Ukraine. Our goals can be successful only in the unity - the eternal values of the Ukrainian people, carried through the centuries. I am convinced that only together we are a great, invincible strength.

Let your life be full of hope, the friendly warmth and new achievements for the sake of Ukraine.

I wish you good health, happiness and family comfort.
