I am proud to be a Kyivan! You were, are and always will be the centre of statehood and freedom! You are an example of resilience and courage...
Your beauty is in your parks and squares... Your charm is in your hills and lakes... And your strength is in the people who live on your streets... No force can conquer you because you have raised your true sons and daughters, passing on to them your best courageous and wise qualities! Happy birthday, my Kyiv! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Nation! Glory to the Armed Forces! Everything will be Ukraine," Oleksandr wrote on Facebook.
