Today, February 21st, the world celebrates International Mother Language Day, a date that reminds us of the importance of preserving and developing our linguistic heritage. Ukrainian is not just a language; it is our history, culture, and soul. It embodies the power of the Cossack word, the tenderness of a mother’s song, and the wisdom of our ancestors. It unites us into a single, strong nation capable of creating the future. Let’s speak Ukrainian with pride! Let’s read, write, and sing in it! Because every Ukrainian word is a step towards preserving our identity. Happy holiday, dear fellow countrymen! With respect, Fontanska Village Council.
