Statement on Ukraine’s Independence Day

24 August 2024

Ukrainian version

Today, on Ukraine’s Independence Day, Swish World Group stands in unwavering solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Your resilience, courage, and determination to defend your nation’s freedom continue to inspire people around the world.

Independence Day is a moment of national pride, remembrance, and resolve. It is also a reminder to the international community of the fundamental importance of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the right of every nation to determine its own future.

The aggression against Ukraine is not only an attack on the borders of one country. It is a challenge to the principles of peace, democracy, freedom, and human dignity on which the international order should be built.

We call on countries and institutions around the world to continue supporting Ukraine, to demand an end to aggression, and to stand firmly in defence of Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.

On this day, know that Ukraine is not alone. The global community stands with you, and we support your right to live in freedom, security, and peace within Ukraine’s internationally recognised borders.

James van Houten, Group CEO, Swish World Group:
“The courage of the Ukrainian people is a powerful reminder that freedom must never be taken for granted. On Ukraine’s Independence Day, Swish World Group stands with Ukraine and with all those who defend sovereignty, democracy, and human dignity.”

Slava Ukraini!
