We, men, always wait for this day to express you the words of sincere respect and admiration, which we often do not have time to say in the turmoil of everyday life. Women, with their beauty, mercy, patience and care, are the foundation upon which our world rests. Heroic feats are performed for your sake, you inspire us to discover, and your desires break through the most insurmountable obstacles.

We will never tire of thanking you for your contribution to the formation and development of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Moreover, I am convinced that our women can master any difficult profession and get over any heights. You keep up with everything, at work, at home, in public activities, and at the same time, you keep your femininity, soulfulness and beauty, you remain good mothers, wives, faithful and reliable companions.

Accept the words of admiration and gratitude for what you are doing for all of us, thank you for wending your way through life along with us, supporting us with a kind word, helping with wise advice, inspiring us for more victories.

Dear ladies! May everything in your life be harmonious, may understanding, prosperity and love always reign at home, and may occasions for smile and joy happen as often as possible. I wish you happiness, good health, success and goodness. Happy holiday!” Denis Pushilin said.
