Congratulations to all the citizens of Ukraine residing in the occupied Crimea or internally displaced persons from the peninsula on the Day of Unity on the occasion of the unification of Eastern and Western Ukraine in 1919 and on the Day of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea as the beginning of the restoration of Crimean autonomy as part of the Ukrainian State in 1991.

We assure you that the current activities of the President of Ukraine approximate the inevitable time of de-occupation of Crimea; it is the best guarantee that the unity, territorial integrity of Ukraine, protection of the sovereign rights of the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian nation, indigenous peoples and national minorities of Ukraine, democracy, the rule of law and human rights will always remain to be a cornerstone  of state policy.

The Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea will apply its best efforts to go through the path of de-occupation and reintegration of the occupied peninsula and to celebrate  next January’s memorable dates on the liberated land of Crimea by the joint efforts of all constructively-minded state and public forces.
