President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with the Ukrainian military, who profess Islam, leaders of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, and representatives of the Muslim community and clergy, took part in an iftar – a dinner held during the holy month of Ramadan.
The event took place on the territory of the Religious Administration of Muslims of Crimea and was a continuation of the tradition of holding an iftar, launched at the state level by the President of Ukraine in 2023.
"Last year we initiated a new tradition – to celebrate the holy Ramadan together. The political leadership of our country, the military command, representatives of the Ukrainian Muslim community, the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, and the diplomatic corps – all together. I am very glad that we are here today in the same composition. Unity is always important, especially when life is overshadowed by war and the strikes of evil," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The Head of State expressed gratitude to all those present, to those who fight, work for Ukraine, who help our country and do not obey evil.
"I would like to recognize Muslim warriors – all those who are part of the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine defending our country, our freedom. I thank each of our warriors for their bravery. I thank everyone who brings the liberation of our entire land and our Crimea closer," the President emphasized.
