Dear Kyiv Polytechnicians! This year's Easter Sunday caught our country in the time of bitter trial - on the 60th day of a full-scale war. For more than eight years, Ukrainians have been courageously fighting against absolute evil, defending the right to exist of their own state, believing in their own truth and victory. Light and truth always win.
Heroes at the front defend the freedom of the Ukrainian people at the cost of their own lives. Ukrainians in the rear are doing everything to ensure that life in the country does not stop. It is time to remember everyone to whom we are grateful these days for our lives and our safety.
These days we need to strengthen our faith in ourselves, in our country and in our truth. Not to let trials break us, instead focus on creating a new, better life. Let's not forget that soon we will need all our inspiration to rebuild a free Ukraine.
Today it is more than ever important to remember who we are and what is essential for us. And no matter where we are - in Ukraine or abroad, in the vortex of work or volunteering, waiting to return home or to hear from our relatives - let us not forget that this trial is temporary and we will definitely endure.
The courage and bravery of Ukrainians, their faith in a dignified life and their ability to do their job at this time are powerful weapons against the enemy. May these Easter holidays be a reminder to us that life does not stop, the holiday of rebirth comes in spite of everything, and light always overcomes darkness.
Glory to Ukraine!
With sincere wishes
Rector of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute Michael Zgurovsky
