In his welcome remarks Ambassador of Ukraine to the U.S. Olexander Motsyk paid tribute to the heroes of the “Heavenly Hundred” of Ukraine’s Maidan and those heroes who perished defending Ukraine from Russian aggression, defending the values of democracy and freedom. The Ambassador stressed that Ukraine seeks peaceful settlement as soon as possible. However, Ukraine will continue to defend its sovereignty and despite the heavy pressure from the Kremlin will remain committed to its pro-European course chosen by Ukraine’s people.
