Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!

As a result of a thousand years of unrelenting struggle for freedom, the Ukrainian people finally won their national sovereignty, the right to their own State, Language and Church. The Independence Day of Ukraine is a testament to the resolute courage and patriotism of Ukrainian women and men in their desire to live in a free and independent Ukraine. Today we are bravely resisting the enemy and defending our freedom.

Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!

“I sincerely congratulate every Ukrainian on an important date in the state calendar – the 33rd anniversary of the territorial independence of the young European state.

For the third time, our citizens are celebrating the main national holiday with pain in their hearts, bowing their heads to the blessed memory of those who are fighting for our freedom every minute at the cost of their lives.

For 913 days and nights, our country has been fighting for its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and each of us, in our own place, has been bringing the long-awaited Victory closer through joint efforts.

Our nation continues to amaze the European and global community with the courage and steadfastness of its defenders, who are defending a country that, in the heart of Europe, sets an example of strong spirit, freedom-loving spirit and Cossack valour.

Poltava Polytechnic, as a leading innovative university, forms the future national elite, which will multiply the achievements of its glorious predecessors with its own work and achievements.

Despite the full-scale invasion, our university is developing dynamically and is among the TOP 20 most popular universities in Ukraine, maintains its leading positions in prestigious academic rankings of universities in the world and is a driver of promoting its powerful educational brand in the international arena.

We are pleased that the coordinated work of our tireless and creative team is effective and helps our young people stay here in Ukraine. We are proud of our involvement in the multi-vector development of national and European higher education, our scientists achieve victories in the scientific domain, and our graduates become leaders in their chosen field.

Poltava Polytechnic does not stay away from volunteering, charity and social initiatives, holding fundraisers for the needs of our defenders, charity concerts with the participation of star performers and providing all possible help to the affected partner universities.

Together with millions of dedicated patriots, our powerful research, education and student corporation works hard to ensure reliable support for the defence capability of our army.

We honour all our fellow citizens who have fallen in the fight against the aggressor country and who, at the cost of their own lives, make it possible to live, study, work and support the invincible Armed Forces of Ukraine on all fronts.

We are the Ukraine we believe in with all our hearts!

We nurture talented young people who will certainly rebuild the post-war country.

With Ukraine in our hearts! Peace and Victory! Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!” – congratulates the Rector of Poltava Polytechnic, Honoured Worker of Education of Ukraine, Professor Volodymyr Onyshchenko.
