Today, this day carries a profound meaning, filled with deep sorrow for the fallen and incredible pride in everyone who continues to fight for our right to life and a free future.<\/p>\n<p>The embassy shared on this occasion on its social media page that Ukrainian independence is not a mere coincidence of 1991. The origins of our statehood extend back over a millennium\u2014from Kyivan Rus, the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia, and the Cossack State to the 20th-century national liberation movement.<\/p>\n<p>Despite centuries of struggle against imperial and totalitarian oppression, including the Holodomor and the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, we have successfully preserved our identity.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2014, and most notably following the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Ukraine has been waging an existential war against Russian aggression. This is a battle not merely for territory, but for the very survival of the nation in the face of tyranny, as well as for international law and democracy across the civilized world.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fsV9fBO8iP\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/interview-ukraine-will-strongly-respond-to-any-new-russian-aggression-high-time-for-promotion-of-relations-with-pakistan-markiian-chuchuk\/\">INTERVIEW- Ukraine will Strongly Respond to any New Russian Aggression : High Time for Promotion of Relations with Pakistan : Markiian Chuchuk<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;INTERVIEW- Ukraine will Strongly Respond to any New Russian Aggression : High Time for Promotion of Relations with Pakistan : Markiian Chuchuk&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/interview-ukraine-will-strongly-respond-to-any-new-russian-aggression-high-time-for-promotion-of-relations-with-pakistan-markiian-chuchuk\/embed\/#?secret=2o4FEx3DMX#?secret=fsV9fBO8iP\" data-secret=\"fsV9fBO8iP\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Our objective remains steadfast: full sovereignty, a just peace, and liberation of all occupied territories.<\/p>\n<p>Few are aware of the profound depth of the ties between our nations. At the very dawn of Pakistan\u2019s statehood stood Muhammad Asad (born Leopold Weiss), a native of Lviv, who co-authored the country\u2019s first constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Ukrainian engineers helped build Pakistan\u2019s industrial sector in the 1960s and 1970s, and in the 1990s, Ukraine strengthened Islamabad\u2019s defense capabilities through the supply of T-80UD main battle tanks.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Ukraine remains a key guarantor of Pakistan\u2019s food security, delivering millions of tons of grain even under the conditions of war, including through the \u201cFood from Ukraine\u201d humanitarian program.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the statement concludes as, &#8220;We highly value Pakistan\u2019s support for the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.
