He added: “Salute Ukraine! will acknowledge the seriousness and tragedy of this anniversary. But it will also celebrate the strength and resilience of Ukraine, itsand its growing status as a leading defender, if not the leading defender of modern, pluralistic, democratic freedoms across the world.”
