Dear colleagues and students! 

This year our country is celebrating the Day of Ukrainian Statehood for the first time. It is extremely frustrating that this important event is saddened by a terrible war, by the encroachment of a neighboring aggressor country on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, on its freedom and statehood. Today, like many previous generations, Ukrainians are forced to defend the sovereignty of their country with weapons in hand.
