U.S. President Barack Obama
congratulated President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and the people of Ukraine
on the 25th anniversary of independence.
"On behalf of the people
of the United States, I extend my warmest congratulations to you and the people
of Ukraine as you celebrate the 25th anniversary of your nation's independence
on August 24. This day is particularly important in light of the threats posed
to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity as a result of Russia's
continued aggression in eastern Ukraine and its occupation and attempted
annexation of Crimea," Barack Obama emphasized.
"I wish to assure you
that the United States remains resolute in our commitment to stand with Ukraine
as you confront Russian aggression," the President noted.
"As you celebrate your
independence, I also wish to applaud the considerable strides you have taken to
fight corruption, strengthen the rule of law, and lay the foundation for
economic growth," he emphasized.
"I assure you that the
United States will continue to support you as you work toward a more peaceful,
prosperous, European future for all Ukrainians," the President noted.
