"The Ukrainian people have an indomitable spirit, and your country's courage is an inspiration to many. On this important day, know that the United States respects your struggle, honors your sacrifices, and believes in your future as an independent nation," Trump said in a letter released by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In his greeting, he also mentioned the Russia-Ukraine war, stating that"the time has come to put an end to the senseless bloodshed."

"The United States supports a negotiated solution that ensures a strong, lasting peace, ends the bloodshed, and protects Ukraine's sovereignty and dignity."

President Zelensky thanked the American leader for the congratulations and for the fact that the United States stands "shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, defending what is most valuable - independence, freedom, and guaranteed peace."
