DonSUIA: “Today, a demonstration of professions is being held, due to which Ukraine’s promotion to European space will take place. We are proud of the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine was one of the first to start pro-European reforms. Updating the police service and reviewing the main vectors of activity of the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs testify to the European development of our state. Our joint event is another proof of Ukraine’s integrity and good prospects of our state on the way to the EU.”
The participants were greeted by the deputy head of the Kirovohrad Regional Military Administration, Kateryna Koltunova: “We are celebrating the Day of Europe for the first time and starting the practice of education, career, and training regarding European standards and values. Ukrainian youth should loudly declare itself. We are training a new generation of real state builders, active citizens of their country, on whom its future depends. European career days facilitate sharing experience and the opportunities to multiply and implement it for the benefit of the community. It’s about patriotism and Ukraine in the heart of each of us.”
