Ambassador Ivan Kholostenko:
"Today, Ukraine marks the Day of the Crimean Tatar Flag – a symbol of dignity, unity, and the resilience of the Crimean Tatar people.
The sky-blue banner with its golden tamga embodies centuries of history, the struggle for rights, and the enduring aspiration for freedom. For Ukraine, the Crimean Tatars are an inseparable part of our shared history and future.
We honour the strength and perseverance of the Crimean Tatar people and reaffirm: Crimea is Ukraine".
