Dear Ukrainians!
I sincerely congratulate you on the Day of Defenders of Ukraine! This is a celebration of courage, dedication, and the resilience of our people. We honor all those who have defended and continue to defend our Homeland, those who stand guard over our freedom and peace every day.

Today, especially, we turn our prayers to the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who has long been a symbol of protection for our people. May her blessing be upon each of you and all of Ukraine, granting us strength, faith, and hope.

We thank our defenders for their bravery, selflessness, and love for their native land. We stand with you, support you, and pray for your well-being.

Happy holiday to all of you! Glory to Ukraine!

Respectfully,
Pantelis Boumpouras
Head of the Charitable Organization "Boumbouras Foundation"
