Today is Mother's Day – the day of the dearest and closest person for each of us. Mother's Day is an international holiday.

In Ukraine, it is celebrated in May, in Israel – in February, but this holiday is equally important and dear everywhere. The word “mother” sounds with the same warmth and love in all languages of the world.

Mother is the beginning of a new life, the first word; those are happy who are kept by mother's love and prayer.

I want to congratulate all mothers with the warmest words and thank them for given life, infinite patience and care for their families! You are not only our support, you are the ones who brighten our life and give it meaning. I wholeheartedly thank Ukrainian mothers who could raise real defenders. I wish that your children are able to return home soon.

Be healthy and happy, moms! I wish you long life and peaceful sky over your head!
