Quote from Zelenskyy: "Our Constitution's first article begins with the word ‘Ukraine.’

And from the first minutes of the war, millions of people proved that Ukraine really comes first for them. Everyone who thought, first and foremost, not of themselves, who understands that in times of war, a key duty comes to the fore.

Article 17 of the Constitution. Protecting Ukraine is the most important function of the state and a matter of concern for the entire Ukrainian people."

Quote from Syrskyi: "While respecting the rights, we must not forget the duties. It is only us who will defend Ukraine! Therefore, I urge all citizens to join the ranks of the defence forces!"
