Dear women of the Donetsk People’s Republic! I wholeheartedly congratulate you on the 8th of March!
These spring days are best suited for a women’s holiday, embodying tenderness, efflorescence and beauty. And we men have a chance to express our gratitude and love, to utter special words, unsaid in the bustle of everyday life.
We appreciate and admire your ability to love, empathize, share with us the burden which is often heavy, and, at that, to inspire and encourage us to great heights and gestures with a smile, light of your eyes and a kind word.
Your support is indispensable in peacetime, and it is vital in our wartime full of hardships! You stand next to men on the frontline and in the rear, through foul and fair. You have the strength to raise children, create home comfort, make career achievements, and improve personally and professionally.
Immense is the gratitude to you for all of this!
I sincerely wish you good health, well-being, support from your family and friends, favourable conditions for the realization of your desires, talents, and opportunities. Be loved and happy!
Denis Pushilin,
Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic
